Not being a native speaker, I actually had to google this.... "In response to the CLPE Reflecting Realities report, Alice is only accepting submissions through picture books to middle grade from Global Majority creators for 2025. Any picture books to middle grade submissions made to Alice from creators outside of the Global Majority will be deleted unread."

Google: "Global majority" is a term referring to the majority of the world's population, encompassing people of African, Asian, indigenous, Latin American, or mixed heritage backgrounds.

Maybe helpful for others, too?

@Sasuton, the rule for queries from global majority creators only applies for picture books to middle grade.

Many thanks for sending your work my way. I appreciate the opportunity to consider it but unfortunately it's not a fit for me at this time so I will have to pass.
