ANAYIA COOK
Acquisitions Editor
Anayia Cook has had a lifelong passion for storytelling in all of its many forms, and is particularly drawn to characters that make the reader feel deeply. She would love to see a young adult manuscript with character dynamics reminiscent of those in The Last of Us Part II in a contemporary setting, and children’s picture books that tackle big steps in a child's life (for example: the first haircut or first sleepover).
What Anayia Is Looking For:
-
I’m particularly interested in underrepresented voices and stories that are family-centric (including found families)
-
Children’s Picture Books
-
Middle Grade Contemporary, Fantasy, or Sci-fi
-
Young Adult Contemporary and Sci-fi
-
New Adult Contemporary (specifically, a college sports romance)
Anayia's Query Requirements:
-
Completed Manuscripts Only
-
