Natascha Morris
After a childhood spent reading, Natascha Morris knew she would be a certifiable “Publishing Nerd”. She joined The Tobias Agency in 2020 after previously working at BookEnds Literary and Simon & Schuster. Her editorial philosophy stems from the idea that all books should be well written and entertaining, and that all children should see themselves and their lives in books.

For querying writers: I did a critiques today for an SCBWI conf & got questions about what kind of books you can cite as comps, & I think it’s worth distinguishing between *pitching* comps and *selling* comps. A brief 🧵:

Sometimes when I do laundry or put away groceries, I think "this house was designed by a man who apparently hasn't done laundry or cooked".

Now that pitch events are back, authors, it’s time to talk about the best way to prepare your pitch to sell your book.
When in doubt, the Pixar method never fails.
Side note: I would love to see this pitch as a manuscript in my queries, just saying.

I’ve seen more than one picture book dummy recently that was near perfect terms of voice and style but ended up being a pass because it didn’t align with current market trends. Checking the bestseller list each week, noting which titles are face out at the bookstore—these practices can help. #kidlit

A Reminder: New Adult to me is not always fantasy and not always sexy times.
So in NA, I feel like this is the hardest for me to convey what I am looking for. The first pic is media comps I think would perfectly fit my NA adult vibes. The second is the way I am reading for NA. #MSWL
