"The picture books I take on deal upfront with more serious topics: politics, mental health, grief, etc. I appreciate and recognize the need for whimsical stories, but I'm not the best champion for them."

Re-queried jan/feb 20
Second FR 4/16/20
Passed on 6/4/20. She said I incorporated her suggestions well and listed what she liked about it, like the voice and a sisters relationship, but passed because it’s YA and her list is already full of it.
I’m a queer Latina and queried her because she seemed like someone who would’ve been safe to work with. She was really nice and some of her suggestions were helpful, but in hindsight I wouldn’t have tailored it as specifically to her comments and re-queried her had I known it was DOA. Confusing why an R&R was given and she re-requested the full if she wasn't taking more YA.
