What I'm not looking for right now: 🚫 Picture books (I love them, but I already have a lot on my list) 🚫 Cozy or quiet fiction 🚫 Straight historical retellings or war-centered fiction 🚫 Over-saturated tropes unless there’s a very fresh, high-concept twist
Across every genre, I'm chasing books that make me think: "...I've never seen that before." Give me weird hooks with commercial appeal. Beautiful prose that doesn't sacrifice pacing. Stories that linger. Characters who haunt me long after I turn the last page.
Opening to queries does *not* mean my workload suddenly got lighter. My client list is tight, but I am hoping to find a few exceptional creators whose work fills some specific gaps on my list. Quality over quantity—always.
I already know Future Me is going to have some thoughts about this... ...but I'm opening to queries tomorrow. 😅
Another sneak peek of my upcoming picture book! It's a nonfiction PB about composers--the modern version I wish I had in the classroom.
Thank you all. 😭 I couldn't do what I do without your support!
Last chance to register! Recordings available!
Iiiiiiii have a picture book releasing this fall! 🥰
Quick reminder that my pitch sessions for the Louisville Book Festival are still open. Spots are limited and they don't last forever—once they're claimed, that's it. Grab one before someone else does: givebutter.com/c/LBF-LitPit...
Reminder that AMA calls exist and I have June slots open. You can just…ask me things. Or Andie. Or Chelsea. That's genuinely it. 😁 wix.to/lqW8Ia7
I keep forgetting to mention I have June AMA call availability and then I get 47 DMs with publishing questions and I'm like…oh. Right. wix.to/lqW8Ia7
I'm doing 10-minute pitch sessions at the Louisville Book Festival on October 24, and bidding opens May 30! givebutter.com/c/LBF-LitPit...
