Currently Looking For
I am looking to acquire fiction across all genres for young adult, middle grade, picture books (ages 4–8), and graphic novels. I also accept nonfiction submissions only if they are in graphic novel or picture book format. Please note that I do not accept unagented submissions. I’m drawn to vividly imagined stories propelled by an unforgettable, diverse cast of characters—ranging from the spunky and spirited to the devious and terrible—and to books that balance dynamic, cinematic storytelling with lively dialogue and emotionally stirring prose. In my free time, you can find me watching Korean variety programs, reading manga/manhwa, or nerding out over Succession, Beef, Bob’s Burgers, Schitt’s Creek, Ponyo, the Spider-Verse movies, Hunter x Hunter, Blue Eye Samurai, Akane-banashi, and the works of Hirokazu Kore-eda.
