My Manuscript Wishlist

This item was posted by:

I work on a variety of titles from board books to YA, both fiction and nonfiction. I look for:

  • representation of all kinds on the page
  • books that teach social-emotional lessons
  • a strong voice with a personal story to tell
  • creators from backgrounds that have been historically underrepresented in traditional publishing
  • picture books with LGBTQIA+ content
  • characters who are neurodivergent
  • unique family structures
  • characters that defy gender norms
  • coming-of-age/exploration of identity
  • intersectionality

I love to read:

  • modern twists on classic tales
  • character-driven stories told from unique perspectives (Ex. Abuelita and I Make Flan by Adriana Hernández Bergstrom)
  • narratives with unusual structures
  • romance and coming-of-age stories (Ex. The Language of Seabirds by Will Taylor or Ophelia After All by Racquel Marie)
  • light horror-adventure, intermingled with self-discovery journeys (Ex. The Clackity by Lora Senf, or Ravenfall by Kalyn Josephson)
  • nonfiction that surprises me
  • found family

In terms of nonfiction, I’m particularly intrigued by:

  • texts focused on nature and science
  • slice of life picture book biography
  • the arts

I’m currently NOT looking for:

  • alphabet books
  • rhyme and poetry books
