What Daniel is looking for
Daniel works across fiction, non-fiction, and children’s books. He loves unputdownable stories that introduce him to new worlds or recreate ones he already knows. He is particularly seeking stories that explore relationships, history, faith, science, and culture. He loves comics and graphic novels, so whether you’re working in prose or in panels or a combination of elements, all formats are welcome. He grew up the oldest of six and is an uncle to nineteen so far, so he’s always intrigued by unique views on parenting and family life. If your pages can make him hold his breath or miss his subway stop... he’d love to hear from you.
