Fiction genres:  Juvenile, Young Adult
Interested in:  I am exclusively interested in acquiring projects for young and teen readers, from picture books by author / artists, to authentic and fresh middle-grade fiction, to lyrical and daring YA. I am especially interested in representing young adult novelists. I'm looking for voices that won't be ignored. I am open to considering all sorts of YA from dystopian fiction to paranormal, mysteries to well-written chick lit, coming-of-age, "I'm not dead, but I'm not alive either", the lyrical, the literary, and the laughable.
