I'm also interested in humorous stories that stretch the imagination, creepy picture books that allow young readers to explore fear, tension, and the unknown in a safe and fun way, and inventive/clever nonfiction, particularly STEAM themes and narrative nonfiction.

Specifically, I'd like to find heart-warming picture books that celebrate community and resilience, whimsical stories that honor individuality, and stories that highlight culture, traditions, and belonging.

PICTURE BOOKS #PB
Picture books with multiple, distinct hooks, clear/concise writing, and original concepts. I am open to working with both authors and author-illustrators in this space.

As an immigrant, I am passionate about championing marginalized creators and uplifting historically underrepresented voices. This will be a huge driving force for my list. Alright, let's get into the specific age categories!

GENERAL
I gravitate toward high-concept, commercial fiction with bold storytelling, standout pacing, and a distinct voice. I also have a soft spot for speculative stories, mysteries, and anything delightfully weird.

May is Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) Awareness Month and I'd love to find something in the #YA space that honors indigenous communities and brings awareness to this like Looking for Smoke by K. A. Cobell! #MSWL
