Sure!

It would be a stretch for me, but never say never!

Yup

If it's a longer work, synopsis and sample chapters ;)

Whichever!

It’s not a promise, Carol, it’s a threat 😂

If you are the artist too, sure!

Thanks for participating!

I will not be able to reply to manuscripts which I do not feel I can take forward to Acquisition, so if they do not hear from me by the end of December, that will mean it is a “no”.

While writers can submit as many manuscripts as they like, I will read only one from each creator, and if they send multiple MSs, I will choose at random which one I read.

Psst! I am opening up to unagented children's book submissions *just for the month of October*! This is an exciting experiment. The email to send submissions to is [email protected]. You can find out about what I'm looking for at www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/me...
