Currently Looking For
I am a children’s book editor at Dutton Books, an imprint of Penguin Young Readers. I don’t publish books for the adult market. I maintain a small list of primarily fiction for YA and MG with some nonfiction. My taste is not particularly commercial, and I’m quite slow. I’m interested in ambitious projects from debut and mid-career authors, especially if those projects seem risky or somehow unsuited to the market. I like books that are first and foremost about very specific children and teenagers, especially from cultures and situations not well represented on the shelves now. Some representative recent projects include:
