![]() ![]() ![]() Oh! Something else-I would love, love, LOVE to discover a FUNNY manuscript like RAYNE & DELILAH'S MIDNITE MATINEE by Jeff Zentner. I, like most teenagers, am looking for emotional connection, for drama, for hope. What I’m really looking for is the intersection between stellar writing and plot, something that leaves me puffy eyed or laughing out loud. I’m probably not the best choice for "message” or hard science-fiction books. Give me something bold and fresh with a voice that’s impossible to put aside. YOUNG ADULT: I'm eager to find novels that are high concept, diverse, fantasy or magical realism, and am open to anything conceptually unique. Alston, THE ONE AND ONLY IVAN by Katherine Applegate, FREEWATER by Amina Luqman-Dawson, KEEPER by Kathi Appelt, and PET by akwaeke emezi. Favorites include: FAR FROM HOME by Jasmine Warga, AMARI AND THE NIGHT BROTHERS by B.B. Please send me your diverse, epic, cinematic, action-packed, adventuresome, mysterious, and fast-paced novels! I always bear in mind that readers in this age group are looking for fun and mischief, to learn something about life, and to escape and romp. I’m open to almost anything within this genre and I’m eagerly looking for something new. MIDDLE-GRADE: I’m currently on the lookout for stellar, fun, expansive, bright, fantastical, joyful, adventurous middle grade. Thank you so much for considering working with me. I will answer within four weeks if I'm interested in seeing more. In order to submit work, please send a query letter and the first five pages of your manuscript to I honor each submission and do my best to answer everyone, but due to volume am not always able to do so.
