Nicolás Ore-Giron

Hello! My name is Nicolás (Nico) Ore-Giron and I am an Assistant Editor at Roaring Brook Press, an imprint of Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group. I am actively acquiring young adult (crossover welcome), middle grade, graphic novels, and picture books.

In general, I am drawn to:

• High concepts with literary writing!
• Character driven stories with a distinct voice
• High fantasy and historical fantasy
• Sci-fi with strong political themes
• Queer romcoms
• Complex friendships and family dynamics
• Morally gray characters
• Literary fiction
• Historical fiction that feels fresh and subversive in its perspective
• Stories set in the Southwest

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, trans authors, and disabled authors please!
