Good morning, #amquerying #amwriting community!PitMad may be over. There were almost half a million pitches, which is an overwhelming turnout! Because of that, I know I ๐ฏ missed some things.

I'm particularly eager to build up my MG and Adult lists, but I can't resist a good PB or YA.
I'm perennially on the lookout for BIPOC, LGBT, and Neurodiverse creators in all categories.

Next year is the 100th anniversary of the discovery of King Tut. Really hungry for an #ownvoices kid archaeologist MGโbonus points for critique of how museums often steal artifacts! #mswlSame!
Fun fact: I did archeology before I came to publishing.
Archaeology stories welcome and appreciatedโesp #MG!
