What Amy is looking for
In all age ranges and genres, Amy’s looking for succinct and simplistic writing, and iverse representation from authors to main characters, including but not limited to BIPOC, LGBTQ+, neurodiverse, and persons with disabilities. In picture books, she’ll be looking for hyperbolic, zany storylines that teach a life lesson (even subtle) or ones with laugh-out-loud moments written simply to entertain. In middle grade, she’ll be looking for fast-paced stories mostly set in a contemporary setting that feature characters that think, act, and talk like real middle graders. Wish YA, she’ll gravitate toward contemporary issue-driven plots where teens find themselves in situations they aren’t equipped
