Had a chance to peek at Lucy Jean through a SCBWI critique - I don't have room for more PB on my list right now, but other #picturebook agents, take note of @laynejohnsonkidlit.bsky.social !

Reviewing my pitches from #DVPit and blown away by the total amount of engagement my #pb projects received (across all pitches):

🖍️Lucy Jean the Coloring Queen: 30 comments!

Thank you #writingcommunity for the support!

Aspiring artist LUCY JEAN THE COLORING QUEEN creates magical masterpieces with her big box of crayons until she gets ONLY 3 at a restaurant! Can she still create a masterpiece with only yellow, blue, and red? A lyrical #pb about emotional regulation and creative problem-solving. #dvpit #q

Across the board I appreciate anticolonialism and decolonization; non-Western-centric perspectives (and folklore); and protagonists that disrupt the status quo.

and nonfiction that sits at the intersection of advocacy and the following: sports and exercise science, health and fitness, nutrition, medicine, and animals; though any nonfiction intersecting with advocacy is welcome in my inbox.

In Adult fiction, I'm seeking cozy mysteries, grounded fantasy, and romantic suspense helmed by BIPOC protagonists. In Adult NF, I'm hunting for cookbooks from 1st, 2nd, (& so on!) -gen immigrants finding their ways back to their roots, as well as health/fitness-centric, body-neutral cookbooks;

In MG and YA I love gutsy, messy main characters in a layered narrative--bonus if there are sports, unique hobbies, or world-saving involved. I'm open to all genres in MG and YA, but prefer gutsy contemporary and grounded fantasy, horror, and mystery with a strong sense of adventure.

I'm currently seeking MG, YA, and Adult fiction and nonfiction, primarily by BIPOC authors.

“At last,” shouted Toad, “my seeds have stopped being afraid to grow!”

“And now you will have a nice garden too,” said Frog.

“Yes,” said Toad, “but you were right, Frog. It was very hard work.”

I wrote about what happens when Trump is gone, and how remembering that he *will* be gone before you might help shape what kind of actions to think about taking today.

When I open to queries again this Fall I will not be taking PB queries 😔

I was all in my feelings about it, but here's a way for me to stay involved with what picture book writers are up to these days and keep working with one of my favorite formats. Click the link in my bio to contact me!
