I did it again! Here are the 2023 numbers from Publishers Marketplace for children's deals, broken down by age category and type #PB #CB #MG #YA #GN. These are *announced* deals, so can't account for pub pros not using PM (rare), delays for illustrated works (common), etc.

It’s that time again! I’m open to queries today, Feb. 5 - Friday, Feb 9th. 😃 Not ready? Don’t rush! I’ll be open again March 4th-8th. 😊 I’ve responded to all January queries. If you didn’t hear from me, please check QueryTracker or nudge me. Thank you!
