Taking a deep breath & getting ready to dive into 2024: At long last, I'll be reopening to queries on Monday, 1/8! Check out my wishlist here, & visit our website (howlandliterary.com) for the text version of this MSWL & my QueryManager link. Can't wait to see your work. ✨

Thrilled to announce this deal! Meg's artistic voice is unlike anything I've ever seen, & I'm over the moon that NECROLOGY has found a home with Creature, whose books I've admired for a good while! Amanda truly Gets It. This unsettling, wild, beautiful folk horror is headed your way next fall! ✨

🩸 COVER REVEAL! 🩸 Eva Jurczyk’s sophomore novel, THAT NIGHT IN THE LIBRARY, coming from Poisoned Pen Press next summer, is a campy, bloody, satirical romp—with rare books. It’s a sheer delight, & I can’t wait for y’all to read it! Gorgeous cover by Sarah Brody.

Happy book birthday to THE FAIRFLEET AFFAIR, the first in K.H. Saxton’s new MG series, out today in hardcover & paperback! It’s the perfect clue-filled mystery for the kid in your life who loves puzzles & scavenger hunts. (& you, let’s be honest, because don’t we all?)
