Nicolás Ore-Giron

Hello! My name is Nicolás (Nico) Ore-Giron and I am an Assistant Editor at Roaring Brook Press, an imprint of Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group. I am actively acquiring young adult (crossover welcome), middle grade, graphic novels, and picture books.

I am drawn to:

• High concepts with literary writing!
• Queer romcoms
• Speculative romance (from cozy fantasy like LEGENDS & LATTES to slight speculative twists like YOU’VE REACHED SAM)
• High fantasy with sharp worldbuilding and an unique magic system
• Epic and sweeping historical fantasy in a non-European setting
• Literary coming of age with a strong concept (like LIBERTAD, PATRON SAINTS OF NOTHING, and LAST NIGHT AT THE TELEGRAPH CLUB)
• Sci-fi with strong political themes
• Complex friendships and family dynamics
• Morally gray characters
• Historical fiction that feels fresh and subversive in its perspective
• Stories set in the Southwest
• Character driven stories with a distinct voice
• Genre bending/mashing

For nonfiction: I am interested in critical, well-researched books with anti-colonial, anti-imperial, and anti-capitalist themes. History is a huge plus! Historiography is even better!

I am especially interested in stories by/about traditionally underrepresented communities. Projects by authors of color, trans authors, and disabled authors please!
