Work for Hire with Taryn Albright at KiwiCo Press
I am considering all agented authors/illustrators for work-for-hire projects. If you are agented, you can fill out this form or have your agent contact me directly.
If you are unagented, I am only open to inquiries from BIPOC and disabled authors, with the exception of pitch events if I like your pitch, or specific calls for projects.

Please put "Work for Hire" in project title and "0" in word count, then select the genre that most matches the sort of projects you'd like to work on.
In the space for your query letter, tell me a little about yourself and your publishing history and (if applicable) any connection you have to KiwiCo, such as receiving the crates. Share what topics and age groups you have special experience or interest in. Finally, let me know what sample you're sharing and why. It should be relevant to the topics and age groups you are interested in.
For your writing sample, share up to two picture book samples or up to ten pages of a longer work.
