Looking For

Hannah Sheppard represents both adult and children's fiction, along with a small amount of non-fiction, and above all wants to be entertained by a great story with characters she can care deeply about. She gravitates toward bold, distinctive voices, intriguing stories with a strong hook, and flawed characters with something to learn. She values truly diverse characters and inclusive, body-positive, joyful representation, as well as big, mind-bending ideas and fresh combinations of genres. She is particularly interested in Thrutopias, graphic novels, highly integrated illustrated middle grade or YA fiction, and funny fiction for children and young adults.
