Currently Looking For
I represent mostly adult fiction, and the occasional adult nonfiction or YA fiction project. (All of the things on my fiction wishlist apply to adult and YA.) I’m passionate about #OwnVoices books that celebrate all kinds of diversity. I want strong characters and rich emotions. I gravitate more towards upmarket and literary fiction, though I also enjoy commercial fiction with a strong voice (especially if it’s funny!). I like serious fiction and weird/quirky/funny fiction. Send me your weird girl lit. I love all kinds of mysteries—from hilarious cozies to dark literary suspense to psychological thrillers to locked room mysteries. I love literary, psychological horror, folk horror, and horror mashups (horror mysteries, horror historical, horror romance, horror comedy, horror westerns). I love all manner of speculative fiction, including magical realism, surrealism, fabulism, and grounded speculative fiction, but I’m not the right agent for straight up fantasy or sci-fi. I like myth/folklore retellings. I love contemporary fiction and historical fiction of the 19th and 20th century (especially centered around diverse characters). More specific fiction wants: -a novel about the dancing plague of 1518 -doppelgangers -creepy dolls -Twin Peaks/David Lynch vibes -evil children (ala The Bad Seed) I’m looking for prescriptive (business, self-help, health) and narrative nonfiction (memoir, hybrid memoirs, current events, psychology) with a strong platform. More specifically for nonfiction, I’m looking for books on animal or plant psychology/behavior (such as The Hidden Life of Trees or Inside of a Dog), behavioral economics (such as The Secret Language of Money or Predictably Irrational), the connection between mind and body/between emotion and biology, narrative nonfiction about the history of something universal (like Rain: A Natural and Cultural History), American cultural studies that won’t be irrelevant in a few years, (such as studies on race (like The Color of Success or Pushout) and gender, Islamophobia, white supremacy/white extremists/the alt-right, Black Lives Matter, rape culture and the treatment of rape victims/rape accusers, cat-calling, the dark side of social media (like So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed), and any other topics that are culturally relevant).
