Can’t wait for #PitchDis! There’s a wonderful lineup of agents and editors.

I will be open to queries from September 1–5, and then will be closing for the rest of the year to catch up on reading submissions, as I am abysmally behind on responding to requested material. querytracker.net/query/michel...

I would sincerely love it if other agents joined in on #kidlitchat. There used to be a bunch participating in ye olden days on Twitter. I don't want anyone to think my perspective is gospel when it comes to publishing, but often I'm the only agent participating so mine is often the only one seen.
