Hello, dreamer...
To get to the point of querying is amazing; I have to say that personally I've never finished a novel-length project, so the fact that you're here and ready to query is so exciting!
As for how you got to my query page, who knows! But in case you're unaware, I'm currently looking for character-driven young adult, adult, short story collections, and graphic novels written with a touch of magic by BIPOC authors. I'm also on the hunt for BIPOC artists and illustrators who are interested in doing work for picture books, novel covers, and graphic novels.
FOR AUTHORS: fill in the "About the Author" and "About the Book" sections.
FOR ARTISTS: fill in the "About the Author" and "For Artists and Illustrators" sections.
And now for a short list of personal rules that, if not followed, will result in an auto-reject:
NO dystopian YA fiction.
NO memoirs or self-help books.
NO picture books.
NO novellas, poetry collections, or screenplays
NO contemporary books with a heavy focus on real world politics and social issues.
BIPOC queries ONLY.
