I acquire picture books, middle grade, young adult/teen, and graphic novels for Atheneum; I'm searching for character-driven, voicey stories that straddle the commercial and literary line. I love anything from historical, contemporary, coming-of-age stories, fantasy/speculative of all kinds, mystery/thriller, horror/spooky, gothic, romance/rom-coms, narrative nonfiction. I am not the right editor for sports stories, trauma-driven narratives, stories featuring self-hating queer or BIPOC main characters, stories centered on terminal illness that ends with the character's death or board books.
