Thank you for considering me! I am open to picture book authors and author / illustrators, middle grade, young adult, graphic novels, new adult and select adult genres. I will respond to all queries. Only nudge if you have an offer. I'm excited to dive in and grow my list.

Illustrators: Attach or link your portfolio, just write "portfolio" in the query sample section but please give me your bio and write a query letter so I know more about you. I’m open to all styles – traditional and digital - send me your portfolio. Please no AI.

Picture Books: I’m open to authors and author / illustrators. Please send me humor, dark humor, wacky humor, kids being kids, commercial fiction, nonfiction told in a fun / engaging way. I’m not the best fit for books that are didactic or lesson based.

Middle Grade / Chapter Books: Please send me commercial, contemporary, fantasy, dystopian, mystery, horror. Anything with humor, heart, a strong voice, and unforgettable characters. Stories a young reader won’t want to put down.

Graphic Novels: I am open to pitch packets from chapter books, middle grade, young adult. I prefer author / illustrators only but if you have a background in writing for comics (and really know the language of writing graphic novels) I will be open to those authors as well.

Young Adult: I’m looking for commercial, fantasy, dystopian, romance, sci-fi, and horror.

New Adult: Romance, Fantasy and any genre mashups.

Adult: I’m open to selective genres. I am looking for humor and a unique voice - Commercial, Sci-Fi, Dystopian, Romcom

Fantasy– I love cozy, witchy, everyday magic to magical worlds.

Horror -I prefer supernatural, speculative in this space and humor.

In all genres I am looking for a strong voice, a gripping story with emotional stakes, humor, and layered, unforgettable characters. Looking forward to reading your work or looking at your portfolio.
