I'm not open to queries right now. Keep an eye on this page for updates. In the meantime, here's a bit of information about me and my agenting style:

I'm an editorial agent. My goal is to submit only the best work to publishers. If you like workshopping ideas and are open to constructive criticism, we'll probably work well together. I don't give mean or harsh feedback, but I am a matter-of-fact person, so I don't always sandwich criticism between compliments. But I do gush over the good stuff, too. I love brainstorming, and my clients will often run story ideas past me to figure out if they're on the right track, or to help decide which idea to work on first. I've even shared some of my story ideas with them when they get stuck!

I'm very responsive as an agent. It's rare for my clients not to hear back from me within a day or two of receiving their email, and they know to nudge me if ever in doubt. My clients and I meet about three times a year over video call to talk about submissions and other projects they're working on, and to talk career strategy. I believe a client/agent relationship is based on trust and collaboration. Sometimes, my clients have worries or concerns (and lots and lots of questions) and I always encourage them to get anything off their chest that they need to.

I prefer to work with clients who have worked to develop their craft in multiple age categories and/or genres. I believe honing your craft in multiple categories makes you a better storyteller overall. I don't expect anyone to be a master of multiple genres, or even have multiple manuscript polished and submission-ready, but I will want to get a sense of your overall body of work to help me decide if we will work well together long-term. I'm looking to represent authors across their careers. I'm accepting only children's literature right now, but if you're interested in writing books for adults in the future, don't worry: I absolutely plan to represent adults books for my existing clients.

DIVERSITY IS IMPORTANT TO ME! If you're part of a marginalized group, and are comfortable revealing yourself as part of that community, please share that with me. This is especially important if your identity informs the stories you tell. I want to make sure marginalized people are given space to tell their own stories. In the spirit of fairness, I'm neurodivergent, queer, and nonbinary. I acknowledge that I exist with an immense amount of privilege passing as normative. My pronouns are she/her/mx, but will answer to any pronoun or salutation and won't take offense...except maybe if you call me ma'am.

I just need a clear, concise query, and intriguing, well-crafted samples. I don't care about the formatting of submissions, or typos, or mispellings of my name or pronouns. I know that people make mistakes and don't assume malicious intent unless you give me a damn good reason to suspect it. Autocorrect is the bane of my existence, too!

I hope this information helps you decide whether to query me in the future. I look forward to hearing from you when I'm open to queries.
