Children’s, Middle Grade, and Young Adult: We are seeking fiction and historical fiction that models positive values and virtues. We prefer stories in which members of the older generation are portrayed as wiser than those of the younger generation (unless the unwise adults are clearly marked as foolish), parents wiser than children, with mothers and fathers equally wise and responsible (i.e. no buffoon fathers). We look for original, complex stories in which the differences between vice and virtue are clear, bad behavior results in natural consequences, and evil is to be vanquished, not negotiated with. We invite books that instill patriotism.
