Danielle Collins is an Assistant Editor at Beach Lane Books and Paula Wiseman Books at Simon & Schuster. Danielle is drawn to stories that inspire curiosity, empathy, and joy in young readers. She’s looking for picture books that tackle big feelings with a light & lyrical touch, and is especially interested in those that explore cultural identity, gender identity, and other forms of self-expression. Nonfiction about lesser-known people, periods, and fascinating STEM topics often piques her interest. For middle grade, she enjoys found family, adventure, and self-discovery across genres, as well as projects that approach big questions with an accessible voice. Danielle is not acquiring YA, chapter books, or board books. Learn more at:
