Currently Looking For
I’m an assistant editor who is selectively acquiring picture books through YA, including graphic novels, with a specific emphasis on submissions from BIPOC and marginalized creators. Across all age groups, I’m interested in stories about immigration, the first-generation experience, Asian American identity, and intersectional representation. In picture books, I’m looking for: For MG and YA, I am open to all genres and stories with a captivating voice, heart, humor, adventure, and action, but I am particularly drawn to: In YA: I love stories that hit you hard in the emotions, like Lesbiana’s Guide to Catholic School and Last Night at the Telegraph Club – these both have distinct voices, are queer, and are grounded in a very specific setting Not the best fit for: horror or thrillers – I like books that incorporate suspense but not as the center of it Fun facts about me: I like to bake and I play recreational soccer I have a soft spot for summer camp/boarding school/finishing school/spy school stories
