Jess Harold MSWL
Jess Harold is eager to find books about the navigation between worlds that LGBTQIA+ children and teens of color face and the relationships that hold meaning for them. She is also keen for stories that celebrate and share Black contributions to history and subcultures – cowboys, pirates, and beyond. Stunning settings and unforgettable characters will get her hooked, be it a romance or non-Western historical fiction. But Horror is her new love: more blood and body horror, literal and figurative monsters, and the sinking feeling that you can’t escape what you can’t see! Please send her silly and immersive picture books and artists who love the natural world and magic of the everyday.
One of her favorite tropes is “idiots to US-diots” meaning both people are extremely intelligent but remain ignorant to the mutuality of the pining until Circumstances Occur.
