Publishing professional and mental health advocate. I write craptastic books. Some people think I'm funny. You should probably be worried about those people.

I studied journalism and will always have a soft spot for it -- I'd love a fascinating and teen-centric narrative journalism story like The 57 Bus, or a celebration of the power of the press like Spotlight #MSWLYes please. I worked for 2 years at a large metropolitan newspaper (as both a reporter and copy editor), so I'd love something with the feel and energy of the newsroom, but in a high school or jr high newspaper (since I only do kidlit). Fic or nonfic. #MSWL

The other day I stumbled upon DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) Twitter, and I would LOVE to see manuscripts and short story collections (fiction and nonfic) from writers with DID. #MSWL (No need to wait until I reopen to queries on this one, but I only rep kidlit.)

A couple of #MSWL before I head off to bed for the night: Always at the top of my list is children's nonfiction, MG and YA in particular.#MSWL Nonfiction--especially for kids--shouldn't be dry, boring recitation of facts. Make me WANT and even NEED to know what happens next.

Okay, fine, I'll allow one exception to my query pile closure: MG/YA nonfiction (prescriptive or narrative). #MSWL Sorry, but no PB nonfic.
