czkwrites, the genres on her form will usually be the most accurate. If that helps any.

The genres on her form don't match what she says she's looking for. What are kidlit folks putting as their genre?

May be making a career change? (Perhaps a temporary one.) She alluded to something recently on Twitter:
"I’ve been ugly crying all week b/c I’ve had to say goodbye to a lot of wonderful ppl to make way for an incredible opportunity that only comes once-in-a-lifetime. I am trying so hard not to think of it as goodbye but rather, see you later."
