FICTION INTERESTS: “Most of my cli-

ents are author/illustrators, and I

am particularly interested in grow-

ing my list with creators of highly

illustrated middle-grade fi ction

and chapter books—graphic novels,

hybrids, and new formats welcome.

I am always interested in middle-

grade fi ction about contemporary

friendships and family dynam-

ics. I have a soft spot for fresh and

inventive folklore and fairy tales.

I welcome picture books that can

hold up to readings night aft er

night. Picture book submissions by

author/illustrators only. Across all

ages, I want books that can make

kids laugh and that treat them like

the capable and complex people

they are.” NONFICTION INTERESTS: “I

am interested in ways that non-

fi ction can be delivered to young

readers in highly illustrated works,

whether in graphic memoir like

Jarrett J. Krosoczka’s Hey, Kiddo or

in formats created to fi t the subject

like John Hendrix’s Th e Faithful Spy.”

fi , and super-edgy or issue-driven
