In both nonfiction and fiction, I think there are stories yet to be told here and I'm curious to find them.All this said, I should add a caveat that simply having a childless protagonist is not the same thing as using a narrative to explore childfree themes. Childless β childfree. #MSWL
Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.

So this is really specific, but if anyone has a project they'd pitch as Jurassic Park but in Space (MG or YA), I MUST HAVE IT. It'd be sweet if they're actually dinos, (WHY are their dinos in space? I don't know) but I'd take aliens or something else. #MSWL

I want random acts of CLIMATE. How can kids (and adults!) do good for the planet on a daily basis? Iβd love to see some creative takes that go beyond recycling, reducing plastic use, & arenβt afraid to address govt/corp responsibility. #MSWL

I know itβs not a kidlit book, but THE HOUSE IN THE CERULEAN SEA cured my reading rut and was a hug I desperately needed. I would love to see something like this but for MG/YA with truly wholesome, chaotic, and lovable characters. #MSWL

For YA, I want first job stories, gap year journeys, rom-coms with a big hook, and literally anything that could be comp'd to Sex Education or Never Have I Ever. #MSWL

For MG, I would love to see contemporary stories like FROM THE DESK OF ZOE WASHINGTON, STARFISH, and VIOLETS ARE BLUE. Iβd also love to see more light fantasy projects inspired by non-western mythology! #MSWL

Iβm actively looking for NF. I specialize in working with scientists and experts in their field and would love to work with more!
THIS is the kind of energy I want in a NF project. Tell me facts, but make it absolutely absurd. #MSWL

My white whale (I have been asking for years!) is an atmospheric traditional contemporary mystery in the vein of Louise Penny and Suzanne Chazin. Bonus points if the author and characters are both marginalized! #MSWLAhoy! I've been seeking this whale of an #MSWL too! πππ
