3. FABLES

If you have stories that are folklore lite, I want them! They can be imagined or real stories from a culture.

Examples: 1001 Arabian Nights, Aesop's Fables

2. MORALS and LESSONS

I'm keen on publishing books that teach children about virtues (e.g., forgiveness, patience), emotions, and mistakes through a fun or engaging story.

Examples: The Boy Who Cried Wolf, My Hijab Is My Crown, Who Will Make Iftar With Me?

1. COMMUNITY

I'm the perfect one for you if your PB focuses on teaching children how to navigate this world with kindness, compassion, and sympathy toward themselves OR others via a story.

Examples: Brown is Beautiful, Eyes That Kiss in the Corners, My Block Looks Like

For the first time, I will be open to select picture book submissions for Shush or Sorra Books (on top of chapter books)!

#MSWL for when I reopen. I love spacefaring stuff. But I don’t like LONG word counts.

Sara and I are also on the lookout for wholesome / heartwarming / hilarious. Our book love is very eclectic. QUALITY is more important to us than genre! Brandyvallance.com / Sara-kornienko.com / barbarabovaliteraryagency.com #mswl #amquerying #amwriting

(6/7) I am also forever looking for a pirate/mermaid romantasy! Whether that's the tale of the Pirate Queen, the true story of Blackbeard, or the star crossed tale of sailor and mermaid/man.

(5/7) Looking at romantasy, I'd love to explore stories, myths and cultures from across the globe. Specifically if your story is set in the desert, (high heat in every sense) or the pagan forests of viking realms, I need to read it!

(4/7) I'm always looking for queer romance in the new adult commercial space! Whether that's a enemies to lovers at a corporate lawyer firm, a spicy F1 romance on and off the track, or a second chance small town heartwarmer. If it hits the tropes, I'm already excited!
