PB—at this time I’m only looking for author-illustrators and illustrators. I’m looking for work that has a strong narrative arc and clearly centers the child reader.

Hello 2025~I’m back in the office and open to queries this week! #amquerying #kidlit #writers #illustrators , I’d love to see your #YA , #MG , narrative NF proposals, and #PBs . I’ve updated my #MSWL , but some particular things I’d love to see in my inbox:

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)

Hello, #amquerying #kidlit writers, I am now open to queries! I've updated my #mswl, so take a look, and if you think we'd be a good fit, I'd love to read your work! #PB #MG #YA #GN #NF #Illustrators
