Feather Flores 🌸🌿 @featherfully
✨ Lil professional update: ✨June marks one full year of my bookish shenanigans at Atheneum (@SimonKIDS + @simonteen )! 🥳 I’m grateful to work with the BEST creators & colleagues—and so proud of my list!
To celebrate, I gave my #MSWL a refresh: (🧵)

FORMATS:
I just did the deal for books 12 & 13 in my first 12 months as an S&S editor (🎉)—and many of them are picture books! (My first & forever love.)
So this year, I’m especially eager to acquire more MG and YA: novels/verse, graphics, nonfiction.

D.B. Gee—Querying Speculative Fantasy! @DBGeeWrites
@featherfully Hi Feather! I took a peek at the website for the publishers in your bio but didn't see YA as an age range. You liked one of my pitches (thank you 🥹🥹), so I'm hoping to confirm you are interested in acquiring YA stories. Thank you!Hey D.B.! Oh gosh, that's strange. But YES—Atheneum publishes picture books, MG, YA, and graphic novels within the S&S Children's group. My specific #MSWL lives here, if you want to check it out: featherflores.com/mswl/. Any questions, give me a shout! (& ahh your pitch is 🔥🔥)

I’m acquiring picture books, MG & YA novels, and graphic novels for all ages (both fiction & nonfiction in all formats). Joyful, uplifting voice- and character-driven stories are my jam!!
My (very) full #MSWL is available here: featherflores.com/mswl

One day I’ll write about a pragmatic, ordinary small-town girl who accidentally ends up as manager/den mother to a group of emotionally defunct superheroes who can barely save anyone, and how her earthy determination, relentless optimism, and pecan pies save them (and the world).This but a MG/YA graphic novel!!! Make my year and land it in my inbox please? 😍 #MSWL
