Lori is currently CLOSED to unsolicited queries.
Lori Steel considers fiction and nonfiction projects from picture books to YA/Adult crossover books, and author-illustrators who create picture books, illustrated novels, and graphic novels. She is drawn to character-driven stories that demonstrate a deep trust and respect for their readers. For all projects, she seeks stories with accessible, authentic, and unforgettable voices that reflect the diverse world we inhabit, instill the possibility of hope and change, and illuminate the shared human experience.
