now feels like a good time to remind agents that i do in fact still publish MG! lately my only submissions have been for requited, but i am actively still acquiring for LBYR across age categories 😃

so proud of Aubrey and honored to have edited this book!

THE UNDEAD FOX OF DEADWOOD FOREST by Aubrey Hartman is a 2026 Newbery Honor Book! Join us in congratulating Aubrey!

I have gotten several emails about this in the new year and I just want to note again this was not about any specific IP although I definitely see how it reads that way now 🤣! just a general call for more diverse submissions, but I definitely could’ve worded it better

I had a lot of questions asking me if this is for IP project and not necessarily! it’s a general call as my submissions inbox has not been as diverse as I’d like it to be!

This class on finding the hook of a novel taught by editor Raqayyah Daud @borahaze91.bsky.social was gold! So many concrete examples of great hooks from well known novels and interactive exercises to work on our own pitches. #writingworkshop

We've been looking forward to this for months! Join Ruqayyah Daud's class, The Hook of Your Book, to learn not just how to pitch your work--but how to emphasize elements in your pages that help your book stand out. Learn more here: hook-of-your-book-class.manuscriptacademy.com

I think we can all agree that pitching is stressful, difficult, & a totally different skill than writing your beautiful story. But what if you could pitch better - AND use that knowledge to enhance your work ✨creatively✨? Join us Tuesday! hook-of-your-book-class.manuscriptacademy.com
