What Gemma is looking for
Gemma's list is defined by big-concept, commercial series fiction. The best part of her job is being the first fan of an unpublished book and then its champion—nothing beats talking about favorite stories with other book lovers. In children's and YA fiction, Gemma is drawn to books that can be pitched in one line or with a strong "X meets Y" comparison. She loves stories with clear dramatic adaptation potential, whether for a funny preschool TV series or a big-budget feature film. She is particularly eager to see submissions from writers from underrepresented communities, especially in chapter books and middle grade fiction.
