congrats!

Who will find the Golden Ticket? 🎫 This Bookstore Day (April 25), we're partnering with indie bookshops across the US and Canada to giveaway Golden Tickets worth 12 audiobooks each.

Why? Because we love indie bookshops and they need our support!

Supporting small businesses has a H U G E impact.

Because instead of giving major corporations ~more power~ we recirculate that $ in our neighborhood. We reduce our carbon footprint. Plus, small businesses are linked to lower poverty levels, & are way more likely to sponsor local orgs/charities.

Pssst - did you see the news that if you donate to your public library this week, you'll get a free audiobook credit from us? 👀⁠⏬

thank you!

now feels like a good time to remind agents that i do in fact still publish MG! lately my only submissions have been for requited, but i am actively still acquiring for LBYR across age categories 😃

i’d appreciate it! it’s actually for a friend who is in librarian school and looking for part time work until she finishes her degree!

so proud of Aubrey and honored to have edited this book!

THE UNDEAD FOX OF DEADWOOD FOREST by Aubrey Hartman is a 2026 Newbery Honor Book! Join us in congratulating Aubrey!

can’t wait for this one! more deadwood forest coming your way #bookdeal

I have gotten several emails about this in the new year and I just want to note again this was not about any specific IP although I definitely see how it reads that way now 🤣! just a general call for more diverse submissions, but I definitely could’ve worded it better

thank you! i published immortal dark with paige terlip starling so im familiar!

let’s set something up
for jan? i’m also online through 12/23 🤣 but appreciate that no one else is!

rereading it I do see how the phrasing could’ve implied that though 🤣

I had a lot of questions asking me if this is for IP project and not necessarily! it’s a general call as my submissions inbox has not been as diverse as I’d like it to be!

would love to!

yess please email me! would love to work together again!

would love to! please email me!
