Jackie Kruzie

I wholeheartedly believe that there is a book for every reader and every reader deserves a book and I’m eager to shepherd high-quality stories to eager readers.

Due to the number of amazing submissions overflowing my inbox I only take submissions through conferences or pitch events. For a list of my upcoming events visit my website EVENTS | jackiekruzie

I am taking a break from Adult submissions in 2027 to focus on children’s titles. If you submitted an adult title in 2026, it is still under consideration. I still represent adult titles, but my adult list is rapidly filling up, so I am not currently accepting new adult submissions.

Children’s Fiction:

• Board Book
• Chapter Book
• Illustrator
• Middle Grade
• Picture Book
• Young Adult

Preferences:

BB &PB – I like punchy fast-paced kid-focused books with no heavy moral. As a formal children’s librarian, I look for fun read-a-louds perfect for storytime. I am open to concept books, nonfiction, informational fiction, and picture book biographies. I am not the right fit for new baby or new pet books but would love a story featuring a modern grandparent that challenges stigmas.

MG –  I look for books that put kids in the driver’s seat and create lifelong readers. I am open to novels-in-verse and lightly illustrated MG and early MG.

YA – I like books that speak to those who feel invisible and welcome tough topics. I love witches, magical realism, and romantasy but also love contemporary novels with real-world problems. I am open to YA romcoms, including those featuring LGBTQ+ relationships. I am not the right fit for dystopian novels where a teenage chosen one is tasked with saving the world

Illustrators – I am open to illustration only or author/illustrator, including graphic novels.
