Emily van Beek of Folio Literary Management

Emily is looking for picture books by author/illustrators, middle-grade, and young adult fiction. In middle grade, she is currently on the look-out for unique and distinctive voices. She’s open to almost anything within this genre and is eagerly looking for something new. In YA, she is eager to find novels that are high concept, diverse, fantasy or magical realism, and is open to anything conceptually unique. In picture books (by author/illustrators only), she is looking for award-worthy artwork, character-driven series, and work by diverse creators featuring diverse stories.

You can find more details about what she’s looking for on her agency’s website.

Some published titles: To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han, Tree Table Book by Lois Lowry, Freewater by Amina Luqman Dawson
