anyway apropos of nothing, here's a tiny sampling of incredible 2023 middle grade that *I* would vote for, if a certain website allowed it 😤🫶
I’m so mad about this. Especially when you think about the dwindling coverage for books, the struggle for poetry and MG books to get ANY kind of press, and the boost indie comics get from things like this. It was SOMETHING, you know? Ugh.
I know the Goodreads Choice awards are inherently a joke but getting rid of the poetry, graphic novels & comics, and middle grade & children's categories while adding a romantasy category is wild
Recently had an incredible MG anthology with a phenomenal line up shelved. All the rejections were of the "MG is a hard sell right now" This is part of the reason that is true
Combine this with my recent visit to B&N where there was NO new MG on the shelves, and my talks with industry professionals saying it's so hard to publish MG because it's impossible to compare to the beasts taking over sales...I will ALWAYS be fighting for MG. It deserves more.

Anyone with links to resources or mentorship programs I can pass along to prospective applicants, could you post them here? There are so many amazing aspiring pub pros here in ATL who would greatly appreciate the leads on non-NYC-based opportunities.
AGENTS ‼️ Anyone looking for remote readers or have internship/ mentorship programs that could be hiring soon? We just concluded interviews for Peachtree’s Fall program, and I’d like to pass along resources/ leads to a few exceptional candidates we couldn’t hire this go around!
