About Me and Kidlit.com
Kidlit.com is an ongoing project for the passionate community of people who read and write children’s literature. My name is Mary Kole. I live in San Francisco, am an associate agent at the Andrea Brown Literary Agency and write young adult and middle grade of my own. My favorite things about kidlit change almost every day.

Site Policies and Disclosures
The most exciting reading you’ll do all day!
If you’re thinking of sending me books to read, check out my Review Policy. Per the FTC’s new disclosure law, I’ll also say that 100% of the books I review here, unless otherwise noted, come from publicists and the marketing departments of major publishing houses. They are either sent to me for free or I attain free copies at events like Book Expo America.
If you’re thinking I use examples from the literary agency, quote my agent colleagues, mine my editor friends for info or otherwise behave without discretion, check out my disclosure notice.
I’d like to add that I will never, ever use anything from a manuscript that I’m reading. Every example on this site is written entirely by me. The craft or revision issues I highlight might be inspired by something I’ve dealt with in someone’s manuscript, but I go to great lengths to disguise the source of my inspiration. Agency, editorial, client and writer confidentiality are my highest priorities!
