We're especially glad to connect with librarians, educators, and reviewers who cover YA historical fiction, African American history, or diverse/own voices literature. Booksellers and media covering historical fiction or debut small-press titles are also a great fit. As a new imprint, a line or two about your platform, role, or coverage focus when requesting helps us prioritize thoughtfully.
