Welcome to Howland Literary!
I am unbelievably excited to represent Cate and her work! Her YA paranormal romance is to die for—pun intended—so editors, get ready!

Well, I was going to open to queries tomorrow but I just can't wait 🤓 From now until November 7th (or until I reach 200 queries) I am open to marginalized authors only. I will reopen to queries widely after the New Year.

I just hit 500 queries for July, so I'll be closing my inbox this Wednesday, 7/23, at midnight. I will likely stay closed for the month of August. Thank you so much to everyone trusting me with their work! I have some pretty special stories in my inbox right now 👀✨️

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🫶

This time around I was just looking for contemporary, but next time I open, I’ll open wide in all genres again.

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

Hi! Sorry about that, I’ll have to update my general MSWL. I got close to 800 queries when I first opened which gave me so many awesome stories to consider, but right now I’m only looking at the genres I got limited queries for. I hope to open wider soon!

Although I'm closed to queries, I'll be checking out the #MGHub Pitch Party 🥳 I'm looking forward to reading your awesome pitches!
