Currently Looking For
Hello! I’m an Editor at Feiwel & Friends, an imprint of Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group, where I acquire agented submissions. I lean toward commercial and high-concept middle grade (MG) and young adult (YA) fiction. My go-to genres include contemporary, romance, fantasy, science-fiction, and mystery but I’m also open to other genres/sub-genres (thriller, novel-in-verse, fairytale, etc.). August 2026 Update: I’d still love to acquire a poly romance set in college, especially at an HBCU (Historically Black College or University); more whimsical MG with found family vibes; dystopian with in-depth worldbuilding, especially if told in a non-traditional way (think mixed media formatting, non-linear timeline, etc.)! Across MG and YA – but in no particular order – I enjoy stories that: In terms of genres for both MG and YA (again in no particular order): Please note: The above lists are merely examples of my literary tastes, NOT the be-all-end-all of what makes a good story, so please don’t feel discouraged if your manuscript doesn’t fall within these categories; I may not be the right fit but other Editors will be!
