“They will probably be some type of middle grade adventure, with lots of humor and action, and probably draw on myth or folklore in some way. Our goal is to publish great middle grade authors from underrepresented cultures and backgrounds, to let them tell their own stories inspired by the mythology and folklore of their own heritage." (From his website)
