Amy Giuffrida

In all fiction, I am a sucker for dysfunctional families, messy and unlikeable characters, unreliable narrators, diverse casts, undercurrents of social commentary, and twists I couldn’t possibly see coming. On the opposite side of the spectrum, I love stories that are joyful and tender-hearted—it’s hard to make me laugh or cry, but if you have a story that will do either or both…I’d love to see it! I am especially passionate about stories with a feminist slant and about representing Latinx, BIPOC, and historically under-represented voices, so please send me your diverse #OwnVoice stories.

I am closed to ALL picture books and middle-grade.
