He has a special place in his heart for dark and edgy stories (including but not limited to horror), fairy tales, mythology, action-adventure, LGBTQ stories, and stories by and about under-represented voices. Prior to joining the JIMMY team, T.S. worked at Inkyard Press (fka Harlequin Teen) and Little, Brown Books for Young Readers. He has acquired and edited New York Times bestselling and award-winning authors such as Robin Talley, Hillary Monahan (writing as Eva Darrows), Adi Alsaid, Amy Lukavics, and Will Kostakis.
