middle gradeyoung adult - Looking for
- Tracy Marchini Literary represents fiction, nonfiction, and illustration for children and teens. Tracy Marchini is especially looking for illustration portfolios, author-illustrator picture books, chapter-book-length graphic novels, hilarious picture book texts, and middle grade and young adult fiction. She welcomes submissions from communities traditionally underrepresented on bookshelves, including LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, neurodivergent, and disabled communities, and welcomes intersectional stories. Her current wishlist emphasizes joy, humor, truth, out-of-the-box humor, slightly subversive stories, characters with big ideas and bigger plans, new picture book concepts, unconventional nonfiction relatable to today's kids, middle grade and YA novels that compel one-night reading, illustration portfolios that mix traditional and digital media in a distinctly human way, and young graphic novels that blend the fantastic with the relatable.
- How to submit
- Submit through Tracy Marchini's QueryManager only. She is open to queries on the 10th of the month during September through April. Do not email or submit unsolicited queries outside QueryManager, they will be deleted unread.
