Amy Giuffrida

In all fiction, I am a sucker for messy and unlikeable characters, unreliable narrators, diverse casts, undercurrents of social commentary, and twists I couldn’t possibly see coming. On the opposite side of the spectrum, I love swoon-worthy characters and stories that are joyful and tender-hearted—it’s hard to make me laugh or cry, but if you have a story that will do either or both…I’d love to see it!

I am especially passionate about stories with a feminist slant and about representing Latinx and BIPOC voices, so please send me your diverse #OwnVoice stories.

I am closed to ALL picture books and non-fiction.
