Thank you so much for voting for your genres! The winning genre (actually, age group) is….Middle Grade!
Join us for an all Middle Grade, all the time panel–and then speed critique partner networking.
A replay of the panel will be available 15 minutes after the end of the event, and we’ll send the link to submit your work when we register. This event will work on your smartphone, tablet, or laptop.
Queries and pages will be chosen at random, then given three minutes of feedback, so we can get through as many as possible.

Acquisitions:
Kaitlyn says: I represent all ages of kidlit from board book through young adult. The stories I like to acquire range from emotional to funny. I also look for diversity all in forms, including, but not limited to, BIPOC, neurodiversity, and LGBTQ+.
For picture books, I enjoy all formats from character-driven to concept. I connect with lyrical writing (rhyme and non-rhyme) just as much as funny. I also enjoy nonfiction STEAM books and picture book biographies.
For novels, I lean towards historical fiction, mysteries, magical realism, humorous, and friendships stories. I also love author-illustrated graphic novels.
