Anne Hawkins

I've got solid material to work with. Here's the synthesized summary: Anne Hawkins has a genuinely eclectic list that she's described herself as "ranging from thrillers to literary fiction to serious nonfiction," with particular pull toward science, history, public policy, medicine, and women's issues. In interviews she's said she's always hunting for "reading group" books—fiction or nonfiction that's entertaining but also has ideas worth discussing—and in thrillers specifically she wants "strong characters, outstanding storytelling, and an original concept," noting she likes thrillers that don't fit neatly into a subgenre and passes on anything giving her a "been there, done that" feeling. She's explicitly said she's not generally interested in self-help, new age, erotica, how-to, or relationship/advice nonfiction, and doesn't represent horror, westerns, romance, action-adventure, sci-fi, fantasy, or juvenile fiction. Her client list and sales reveal a taste for smart commercial storytelling and history-adjacent nonfiction: she sold the bestselling "Reagan: A Life in Letters," represents historical mystery writer Tasha Alexander, thriller writer Taylor Stevens, bestselling suspense author John Gilstrap, and literary novelist Miranda Beverly-Whittemore (Bittersweet)—one of her earliest sales was Eddie's Bastard by William Kowalski. On submissions, agency guidance (via a third-party agent database) says fiction queries should include the first three chapters (or opening chapter) as one Word attachment, and nonfiction needs a full proposal, also as a single Word attachment—so skip pasting pages in the email body. No specific comp-title style or personalization requirements turned up beyond standard query-letter basics (genre, summary, word count, writing background).
