In YA I’m looking for contemporary from underrepresented voices, grounded fantasy/horror/magical realism – always stories that have an engaging commercial plot, and deeper themes #MSWL #YA

I am trying out Query Manager! Please submit to me at QueryManager.com/PamGruberIGLA

I’m particularly eager for MG – contemporary stories, stories with a dash of magic, and more literary fantasy (the sort of books that are magical for kids and their adults) #MSWL #MG

#mswl I also love learning something new through a manuscript. Can you teach me about a fascinating, lesser-known, real-life person or event through your narrative nonfiction ms? I devoured Furious Hours on my last (...ever?) plane ride and I want more. 9/?
