Currently Looking For
I wholeheartedly believe that there is a book for every reader and every reader deserves a book and I’m eager to shepherd high-quality stories to eager readers. Due to the number of amazing submissions overflowing my inbox I am only taking submission through conferences or pitch events. For a list of my upcoming events visit my website EVENTS | jackiekruzie Adult Fiction: Preferences: I love grounded speculative fiction where characters must keep their abilities hidden as they strive to right wrongs and exist in a world where fear of the unknown and misunderstood is prevalent. I love witches, ghosts, and other supernatural creatures. I have a soft spot for historical fiction with dual timelines where events from the past impact the present. I am a sucker for stories with a romantic element and enjoy when budding romances develop organically throughout the story. I welcome diverse characters and would like to see more main LGBTQ+ characters in a setting where they exist without scrutiny, and their sexuality isn’t the main issue but simply a component of the story. I am not the right fit for stories about divorce, adultery, spiritual awakening, or dystopian. Children’s Fiction: Preferences: In Middle Grade I look for books that put kids in the driver’s seat and create lifelong readers. In Young Adult I like books that speak to those who feel invisible and welcome tough topics. I am not the right fit for dystopian novels where a teenage chosen one is tasked with saving the world. In BB & PB I like punchy fast-paced kid-focused books with no heavy moral. As a formal children’s librarian, I look for fun read-a-louds perfect for storytime. I am not the right fit for new baby or new pet books but would love a story featuring a modern grandparent that challenges stigmas. I am open to nonfiction and informational fiction. I am not a good fit for: Fun facts about me: As a former librarian library settings make me swoon
