Nicolás Ore-Giron

Hello! My name is Nicolás (Nico) Ore-Giron and I am an Associate Editor at an untitled, new imprint at Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group. I am actively acquiring picture books, graphic novels, nonfiction, as well as select novels.

For graphic novels and fiction, I am drawn to:

• High concepts with literary writing!
• Romance and romcoms (anything swoonworthy!)
• Literary coming of age with a strong concept (like LIBERTAD, PATRON SAINTS OF NOTHING, and LAST NIGHT AT THE TELEGRAPH CLUB)
• Historical fiction that feels fresh and subversive in its perspective
• Complex family dynamics and morally gray characters
• Stories set in the Southwest
• Distinct and standout voices
• Genre bending/mashing
• I love speculative and SFF, but I am currently only considering those genres in graphic novel

For picture books: I’m always looking for lyrical stories with a culturally specific point of view and humor that works for both children and adults.

For nonfiction: I am interested in critical, well-researched books with anti-colonial, anti-imperial, and anti-capitalist themes. History is a huge plus! Historiography is even better!

I am especially interested in stories by/about traditionally underrepresented communities. Projects by authors of color, queer/trans authors, and disabled authors please!
