I look forward to reading your work and thank you in advance for thinking of me. Unfortunately, due to the volume of submissions I receive, I will only reply (within four weeks) if I am interested. My goal is to build long-term relationships with authors and artists and to help them publish books that will stand the test of time. I am an “editorial” agent, in that I’ll work through as many drafts over the course of as many years as it takes to polish a manuscript I believe in to a high shine prior to submission. I’m also committed to helping established authors and artists continue to grow their careers. I find it incredibly rewarding to work with new voices. I am passionate about working together with our experienced and esteemed subsidiary rights and contracts teams to squeeze as much juice out of a single property as it will yield. I am passionate about negotiating the best deal possible. I am passionate about children’s and young adult books. Representing an author or artist, whether aspiring or established, is an honor and a commitment I take very seriously. I am not looking for board books, novelty, picture book texts, and chapter books at this time. I’m especially looking for award-worthy artwork, character-driven series, and work by diverse creators featuring diverse stories. PICTURE BOOKS: At this time, I am exclusively interested in AUTHOR/ILLUSTRATORS. Oh! Something else-I would love, love, LOVE to discover a FUNNY manuscript, a novel to make me LOL as Louise Rennison's ANGUS, THONGS, AND FULL-FRONTAL SNOGGING did. I, like most teenagers, am looking for emotional connection, for drama, for hope. What I’m really looking for is the intersection between stellar writing and plot, something that leaves me puffy eyed or laughing out loud. I’m probably not the best choice for "message” or hard science-fiction books. Give me something bold and fresh with a voice that’s impossible to put aside. YOUNG ADULT: I'm eager to find novels that are high concept, diverse, fantasy or magical realism, and am open to anything conceptually unique. Please send me your diverse, epic, cinematic, action-packed, adventuresome, mysterious, and fast-paced novels! I always bear in mind that readers in this age group are looking for fun and mischief, to learn something about life, and to escape and romp. I’m open to almost anything within this genre (although less so horror, sci-fi, dystopian) and I’m eagerly looking for something new. MIDDLE-GRADE: I’m currently on the look-out for stellar, fun, expansive, bright, fantastical, joyful, adventurous middle grade. We strive not only to discover and cultivate the most compelling new voices and the most original and memorable styles of illustration, but also to indefatigably and strategically support our established writers and illustrators as they thrive and develop their careers in the publishing industry.
