Questions?
Hey writers! I know that writing and publishing can be confusing. Not only do you have to hone your writing craft in today’s market, you’ve also got to become savvy about the business end of things. I’d love to answer any questions you have. Please remember, anything you send can be featured on the site.
Just a note: I will only answer general questions about the craft of writing, agents, editors or publishing. Do not ask for feedback or critique, please.

My Manuscript Wish List
Ask and you shall receive. I hope. While I don’t want someone to write anything to order for me, I’d love to represent the following:
A really edgy, dark YA novel with a real voice to match…no edgy for edginess’ sake and no voices that are sarcastic just because, please
Ghosts, murders, mystery. Ghosts, ghosts, ghosts. Did I mention ghosts? I like them less old-fashioned-spook and more creepy-under-your-skin. A MG or YA with any of these 3 elements would be absolutely great!
YA or MG set in a theatre
A picture book with a great, outside-the-box friendship hook, like HARRY AND HORSIE
A really good, edgy “issue book” like WINTERGIRLS
A dystopian YA that’s a little too close to home, like FEED
An incredible MG voice and main character, like the one in LOVE, AUBREY
A YA novel in verse
This list is always evolving, so check back.
Very important: Please query me through agency channels, not with my kidlit.com email address. Thanks!
