Currently Looking For

I joined Transatlantic Agency in 2023 after four years at Janklow & Nesbit Associates and am currently building my list. I’m particularly interested in stories that center marginalized communities and prose that is cinematic and atmospheric with good rhythm. In both fiction and nonfiction, I’m drawn towards compelling, fresh voices that make me feel as though the writer is in the room with me, telling me their story with intimacy as if we were already acquainted. Regardless of how plot-driven a story is, characters with rich inner worlds and emotional depth are a must for me. I’m interested in literary, upmarket, and commercial fiction across adult, MG, and YA and select nonfiction. I am also looking for graphic novels/nonfiction. I’m not the right person for prescriptive nonfiction, self-help, business/leadership, religion/spirituality nonfiction, romance (see the “what I’m NOT seeking” section on my website for exceptions), law enforcement/military/intelligence mysteries or thrillers, hard sci-fi, novels in verse, novellas, poetry, essay collections, short story collections, picture books, board books, chapter books, or screenplays. In addition to my MSWL below, you can see a more detailed rundown of my interests on my personal website, where I have a “cravings” page for extremely specific things I’m currently hungry for and a “likes” page for books, TV shows, and movies that give a sense of what I’m looking for in queries.
