(4) all the Donner Party vibes. a gritty survival story that you can’t look away from. I’m watching Yellowjackets right now and am absolutely hooked.

(3) YA dystopia - it’s time for the revival. incredibly high stakes, lots of action, multifaceted characters, maybe even a love triangle….?

(2) you already know I’m obsessed with Erin Hunter’s Warriors. please please please give me the next big animal series that can spawn a years long saga that’s really engaging for fans! maybe with an unexpected species? we have lots of 🐈‍⬛🐁🐇🐉s already… but I do love them

some absolute dream projects:
(1) something extremely atmospheric that captures The Real Florida (or a region you’re passionate about!) - I love when the setting of a story could almost be a character of its own

I’m looking for ALL genres of MG and YA, but might be slightly prioritizing….
- MG magical realism
- MG animal fantasy
- YA fantasy/sci-fi (DYSTOPIA)
- YA contemporary
- YA thriller
- historical fiction OR alternate history in both age groups
