My Manuscript Wish List Favorite

I'm looking for nonfiction children's books that appeal to both the mind and heart. Strong narrative elements -- things like hook, theme, and voice -- are what compel me most. So nonfiction books with underlying social-emotional themes are right up my alley, and straightforward fiction is not really my thing.

Tone-wise, I tend to be drawn to clever and fun, simple and sweet, or compelling and unique. I love when nonfiction authors have found a way to layer emotion and entertainment (rhyme, humor, conversational tone, surprise ending, etc.) over the facts.

Topics-wise, I am a sucker for all things animals and nature, and I'm looking to acquire more STEAM books. Send me untold stories from history or fascinating bios whose themes are relevant for kids today.

Ultimately, I want to feel something when I read, so if your book surprises, delights, or moves the reader, please send it my way.

• I love to be outside! When I'm not at my desk, I enjoy walking, hiking, cycling, roller blading, and going to the beach.
• Growing up, I was an avid Chicago Bulls fan and a dedicated volleyball player and concert flutist.
• Before I became a book editor, I was a teacher, tutor, and curriculum writer, primarily for preschool and elementary school kids.
