I am editing in MG, YA, and A and will read anything except for Non-Fiction, it's outside of my wheelhouse. Also, do not send me ANYTHING where a child is hurt in any way (meaning sexual or physical abuse). Previous trauma regarding this for your characters is okay. Finally, nothing where an animal dies please, my animal-obsessed heart can't take it.
