Join our new Member Lounge feature: Publishing Help Desk, where you can interpret rejections, plan your querying strategy, and ask agents the un-Google-able.
We are here to support you. This is a judgment-free zone. If you sent out your query with a typo, we can help you pivot; if your work is 300,000 words, we can help with that, too.
No homework. Please add your questions to the text chat during the event.
We're happy you're here.

About the Instructor
Rachel Diebel
Rachel Diebel is an editor at Feiwel & Friends (an imprint of Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group), acquiring middle grade, young adult, and graphic novels. Throughout her career, she has worked on multiple New York Times bestsellers, as well as celebrity projects including books by Lili Reinhart, Jimmy Fallon, and the forthcoming Natalie Portman’s Fables. Though she now calls Brooklyn home, her heart will always be in the Pacific Northwest, where she grew up.
Broadly, across all categories, Rachel is looking for commercial fiction with a unique voice, a great hook, and unforgettable characters. She is always looking for projects from marginalized voices and has a particular soft spot for stories of found families. She loves both YA and middle grade graphic novels with colorful, commercial art styles.
