Currently Looking For
I’m looking for voices that jump off the page and stories that really sucker punch me with any and all kinds of emotion. I tend to be more drawn to complex characters that have a clear arc, such as a goal to achieve or desire to fight for something they believe in. I am open to picture book, middle grade, young adult, new adult, and adult submissions. I am only looking for author/illustrators in the picture book fiction, picture book nonfiction, and the MG/YA graphic novel spaces at this time. I am also interested in biographies, memoirs, and nonfiction ideas from middle grade through young adult that are interesting and well-researched. For more specifics, please read below! I would be happy to represent an author’s fully body of work if they write across all ages and genres. If I like your pitch during any kind of event, please submit it to me no matter what age or genre it is, from picture book to adult. Picture Books: In fiction, nonfiction, and biographies, I am looking for stories that stick with readers and will withstand the test of time. I really love a strong plot and well-defined character arc. I tend to prefer characters that are human over animals or anthropomorphic objects, but I’m open to anything since you never know what you’ll fall in love with. Please see the Illustrator section below for more information on what I gravitate toward in children’s art. Middle Grade: In middle grade fiction, I love reading any genre, though I am more drawn to fantasy, mystery, and contemporary. I particularly enjoy middle grade books with a lot of heart. Some specifics I’m interested in are: For middle grade nonfiction, I am open to any exciting/interesting topic, but my specific interests are social activism, feminism, intersectionality, world cultures and mythologies, the arts (music, dance, theatre, etc.), pop culture, and women’s sports (bonus points for soccer, dance, or gymnastics), but anything can catch my attention if the idea is interesting and/or exciting. Some recent middle grade nonfiction I’ve read are Stamped (For Kids): Racism, Antiracism, and You, We Need To Talk About Vaginas, and Little Dreamers. Young Adult: In YA fiction, my favorite genres to read are romance, fantasy, and contemporary, but I enjoy reading almost anything. Some specifics I’d like to see are: For YA nonfiction, biographies, and memoirs, I am open to any topic, but my interests are the same as what’s listed in middle grade above. Some recent YA nonfiction books I’ve read are Unstoppable! and All Boys Aren’t Blue. I also really loved the adult nonfiction book Everything I Need I Get From You by Kaitlyn Tiffany and would love something similar in the YA vein. Middle Grade or Young Adult Graphic Novels: In the graphic novel space, I’m looking for any of the same genres or bullet points of interest that are listed in the other YA or MG sections above. A children’s graphic novel I really enjoyed is The Tea Dragon series by K. O’Neill. Please see the Illustrator sect
