What I'm Looking For:
I’m accepting submissions in fiction/nonfiction from picture books to young adult.(Not repping adult currently)
In all cases, I’m looking for strong characters or perspectives. I want your book to say something. With teeth. I’m especially interested in BIPOC and diverse perspectives/experiences, i.e. disability, class difference, LGBTQIA+, etc.
