So excited to welcome @jacintapatt.bsky.social to Team Book Fairy and MacPack. Her picture books are incredible and I’m thrilled to team up with @ashleedani.bsky.social to represent her.

Shameful as it is for an author to admit, I am at a loss for words. My flabbers are gasted and my timbers are shivered to announce that I am agented...and I get to work with TWO amazing agents! Thank you, @bookfairyangus.bsky.social and @ashleedani.bsky.social for believing in my work!

@bookfairyangus.bsky.social and I are at it again! We both fell in love with @jacintapatt.bsky.social's beautifully unique and timely picture books. We are ECSTATIC to work with her and welcome her to the Howland family! 🫶

Still pinching myself that I get to represent Mireia, her art, and her kidlit author/illustrator projects! Art directors and editors—let's chat! 😍 www.mireiamartinezgallego.com

Congrats @briermarilyn.bsky.social !!!! So excited for you and we can’t want to see Periwinkle brought to life🐚🐌 @ashleedani.bsky.social

I am ecstatic to bring @katiegarner.bsky.social onto my team! I devoured her psychological thriller and she's SO exceptionally talented. Editors, get ready for this one! 👀 @howlandlit.bsky.social

📢CLIENT ANNOUNCEMENT📢 @bookfairyangus.bsky.social and I are absolutely, positively, undeniably OVER THE MOON to announce the wickedly talented @uriiswriting.bsky.social has joined our team! His #MG horror had me SHOOK and we can't wait to get it out into the world! Uriel, LET'S DO THIS! 🥳❤️

I was lucky enough to receive some truly exceptional material over the last two days, so in order to prioritize those manuscripts and my submission inbox, I’m closing temporarily, but will open again soon🫶

I’ve answered all queries so I’m doing a soft re-open, narrowing down my #MSWL to focus on areas I didn’t receive many queries when I initially opened. I’d 🩷 to see your chapter books, MG: contemporary, MG: nonfiction, MG: novel in verse, YA: contemporary, & YA: novel in verse
