Hopefully this will ✂️ wait times while also allowing me to give each query the focus they deserve. I figure it’s worth a try. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So what am I looking for? Primarily #mg and #ya and #illustrators . (3/4)

I am so excited to let #amquerying #kidlit writers and illustrators know that I am FINALLY reopening to queries on Friday, Sept 1! AND I am trying something new! I am going to try opening for queries the first 7 days of each month only. Why? 🧵(1/4)

--Always and forever looking for a heist or a fantastic twisty plot with high stakes, great cast, and a surprise ending that feels wonderfully satisfying.

Literary Agent
--A Rom-Com+. A great romance with high quality writing and a meaningful B-plot, like Joya Goffney's EXCUSE ME WHILE I UGLY CRY. (or the romance could be the B plot)
--Sweeping, cinematic adventures with a fun romance
