I'm Gillian Goerz, author/illustrator of the Shirley & Jamila graphic novel series (the 2nd book just won a Doug Wright Award!). I'd love to see illustrators get the same listings/creator credit as authors, especially in library cataloging.

A4) I'd actually like to see more completely ridiculous books—books such as Fortunately the Milk. Pure silliness and escapism

Feels weird to say since I made them, but I love my covers for my MG GN's! Adventurous kids saving the world is my JAM!

A3) Not a trend, but I always want the "direction" of the cover art to lead the eye toward the direction the book opens. For The Guardians of Zoone, I specifically asked for the art to be flipped so that the ship was pointing right. (Art by Evan Monteiro)

Currently reading The Sea in Winter by . Fell in love with the cover, and am now falling in love with the text.

(Admission: unless it's a rec, I pick books based on title and cover, and never read the back cover in advance.)

My book The Secret of Zoone has a character who's 11 (though I don't think we ended up explicitly stating that in the book). It's a fantasy that would fit that age group (I think).
