  1. As fans of your site and book postings, the HarperCollins Children's Books publicity team would love to get direct contact information and work with you in the future. I understand that you cover some YA books. Can you confirm what age groups within children's books you are interested in covering so that we can send you ones that are suited for your site?

    I am currently covering Kindergarten through eighth grade. This will include graphic novels also as they are VERY popular in my libraries.

    Thank you and have a wonderful day!
