GENRES/TYPES OF BOOKS I AM LOOKING FOR:

Children’s Picture Books | Graphic Novels

I see myself as a matchmaker for writers & publishers. I am always looking for longtime partnerships with authors whose work I adore. Here is a sense of what I like:
  • books that deftly dip into all of the magic, misery, joy, pain, lust, fear, hope, and nuance of living
  • the ambition to evolve & inspire
  • innovation
  • strong characters
  • stories that are cinematic
  • stories that make me laugh or cry
  • a new take on an old myth or legend
  • looking at the same old universal issues from a completely new angle
  • quirkiness
  • realistic dialogue
  • stories with a wide audience access point​
  • beautiful illustration that stands on its own
