A good question! I would generally say that immigrants are underrepresented in publishing, if that's you. Otherwise, I leave it up to you to decide if being underrepped has been your experience - I don't feel I'm the final judge of that! :)

this would kill me. but chunky yarn + experienced knitter = no limits I guess 😂

yes ☺️

Adult fiction - cozy mysteries, grounded fantasy, and romantic suspense helmed by BIPOC protagonists. Adult nonfiction - cookbooks, and nonfiction that's advocacy x the following (but not limited to): sports/exercise, health/ fitness, nutrition, medicine, and animals.

You can wait until they respond - the DVpit link won't expire! :)

Yes that's totally fine :)

Yes it does Brook, thanks for asking!

Query me: querytracker.net/query/stefan...

Across the board I appreciate anticolonialism and decolonization; non-Western-centric perspectives (and folklore); and protagonists that disrupt the status quo.

and nonfiction that sits at the intersection of advocacy and the following: sports and exercise science, health and fitness, nutrition, medicine, and animals; though any nonfiction intersecting with advocacy is welcome in my inbox.

In Adult fiction, I'm seeking cozy mysteries, grounded fantasy, and romantic suspense helmed by BIPOC protagonists. In Adult NF, I'm hunting for cookbooks from 1st, 2nd, (& so on!) -gen immigrants finding their ways back to their roots, as well as health/fitness-centric, body-neutral cookbooks;

In MG and YA I love gutsy, messy main characters in a layered narrative--bonus if there are sports, unique hobbies, or world-saving involved. I'm open to all genres in MG and YA, but prefer gutsy contemporary and grounded fantasy, horror, and mystery with a strong sense of adventure.

I'm currently seeking MG, YA, and Adult fiction and nonfiction, primarily by BIPOC authors.
