I seem to be drawn toward literary works that have a commercial hook, and I&#8217;m interested in genre mash-ups. So whereas I don&#8217;t love sci-fi, I&#8217;d jump at a mystery set in space; I don&#8217;t want straight romance, but I&#8217;d love a high fantasy romcom. I find that I&#8217;m especially drawn to YA that has vivid, immersive and contained settings&#8211;settings that almost function as a character themselves. As with MG, I enjoy books with ensemble casts and fast action. I would love a smart, funny heist and a moving novel in verse along the lines of\u00a0<em>Poet X.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section

I enjoy high concept, fast-paced adventure books with a commercial hook, either contemporary or fantasy, as well as literary works featuring lush, lyrical writing. I love ghost stories, magical realism, historical fiction and mysteries&#8211;books that get you to look at the familiar in a different light and to see the possible in the impossible. I love books that feature ensemble casts, unlikely heroes, underdogs, surprise friendships and complicated, yet hopeful, family dynamics. I am particularly interested in books written by and featuring underrepresented voices in ways that showcase kids being kids in all the above scenarios. For nonfiction, I&#8217;m interested in projects that shed a light on a little known historical time period or discovery, projects that focus on the natural world, and issues of social justice. In all genres, I&#8217;m looking for beautiful writing and strong voice.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fcd94cc elementor-widget
