Note:

Wendy reads all her email but sometimes gets backlogged in responding. Thanks for your patience.

Please do not send children’s book submissions, queries, or requests for publishing advice through this website. (Any attempts to “pitch an idea” to Wendy or get her attention here will only freak her out.)

Wendy also can’t give advice and/or feedback on other manuscripts or book ideas. Really, she’s no fun at all.
