Y'all are not ready for how rad this book is going to be! I was obsessed from the minute I opened Eoin's gorgeous pitch, and I've just grown even more and more excited about this book as time has gone on. It's going to be visually stunning and give you so many big feelings. Get hyped!! ✨🧚🖤

There are so many incredible titles on this list, but I’m especially proud of YOUNG HAG by Isabel Greenberg, which I had the total joy of editing. If you haven’t read it, please do! It’s funny, poignant, and just so unique and rad. I’m so glad it exists and is getting this incredible recognition!! ✨

Good morning Bluesky !

You and me both, Charlie Brown.

Here is a handout I made for my kid’s class last week, when I went in to talk to them about making books. I Frankensteined together a bunch of art I already had to make it, and filled other stuff in. But it was a big hit, so I’m sharing it here in case you know any kids interested in making books!

A SINGLE BRUTAL FATE is finally out in the world!! Lee has crafted such a twisting and pacey read here, and it’s so thrilling to see how this duology ends. It’s been such a joy to get to work on, and a series I just love so much as both an editor and reader. Go check it out!!! 🐦‍⬛🗡️✨🖤

A SINGLE BRUTAL FATE is officially out🖤 🗡️

"The résumé information “restores the meaning to the passages that are being used to lampoon them” and counteracts the tactics censors use to target material."

Madeline’s witchy YA graphic novel has everything: great humor, big heart, an angry swamp witch, AND a goose! Everyone get hyped cause this book is gonna ROCK!!!! 🧙🪿✨🖤

Eric is such an incredible writer, and I’m just over the moon to get to bring this stellar new middle grade to the Chronicle list!! Get hyped for 2027!!! 🚀👩‍🚀✨🎉

Happy #MSWL Day! I only accept agented submissions, but wanted to get into the fun. I'm an editor over at Chronicle Books, and I would love to find more MG novels this year—especially ones that feature queer kiddos with big feelings, are a KNIVES OUT-style mystery, or use horror as metaphor! 🏳️‍🌈🕵️😈

Today, on Shirley Jackson’s birthday, let’s all marvel at one of the greatest opening paragraphs ever written (from THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE)

I rounded up what I think are the 75 Best YA Books of 2024*

*75 books I REALLY loved of the 250 I read and I actually like/loved most of them or at least know who to recommend it to

We need to keep talking about how weird it is for people to think they should have a say in reading choices for anyone's kids but their own. You're not in charge of what other people's children eat or wear or when they go to bed. Why on earth would you get to choose what they read?
