About
Notable clients: Previously published young adult author with works by Bloomsbury USA and Simon and Schuster.
Currently Looking For
I’ve worked in publishing for over 15 years, first as a YA author with novels published by Bloomsbury USA and Simon & Schuster. In 2018, after a one-year editorial internship with a digital publisher, I joined The Unter Agency where I represent adult, YA and the occasional MG project, both fiction and non-fiction. In fiction, my taste leans to commercial or commercial/literary stories, most often darker contemporary, thrillers, mysteries, magical realism, horror. I also love pacey rom-coms and women’s fiction with great character development. I’m not the best fit for fantasy (of any type) or younger middle-grade. I like some “science-y” SciFi (e.g., Andy Weir, Alan Glynn), but am rarely a match for SFF. I don’t represent picture books (except for existing clients) or chapter books. As a general rule, if there’s a dragon, “chosen one” or animal protagonist in the story or you’d describe it as satirical/offbeat/quirky, it’s probably not for me. In non-fiction, I like memoir, narrative non-fiction, works that delve into the human psyche/behavior but am open to considering just about anything. That said, I prefer an accessible voice and content that appeals to a broad audience; I’m not a good fit for anything super political, military, historical or academic. Fun facts about me:
