Currently Looking For
Adult Young Adult I am always looking for diverse authors. I love fast-paced stories that keep me on the edge of my seat. I do not accept nonfiction or self-published books. My biggest joy is recommending new books, so I began my career as a literary agent with the goal of helping writers realize the dream of becoming a published author—so I can share them! The stories that draw me in are full of complex characters and simmering with suspense. Through both adult and young adult titles, I acquire mysteries and suspense/thrillers. Historical thrillers are especially intriguing. I lean toward female and diverse protagonists engaged in complex relationships. Also, a well-developed atmosphere is crucial. If the only woman in your story is the victim, please do not submit. Adult science fiction, fantasy, and women’s fiction are all on my list, but I am extremely picky. Only a standout science fiction, a well-developed fantasy world, or an emotionally charged women’s fiction will get my attention. Young adult historical needs a bit of suspense for me to request. Please no extreme blood/ gore. Fun facts about me: I have a dog named Chewy (short for Chewbacca). I enjoy a cup of tea but also a sip of whiskey. I’m a night owl.
