Currently Looking For
// I intend to open to queries on JUNE 29th, 2026 and will remain open for 2 weeks, closing JULY 10th. At that time, I will be particularly looking for: See my full MSWL and what other genres I represent below: In Fiction, Claire reads YA, NA, and Adult, and is interested in fantasy, historical, thriller, and mystery. She loves a romantic or political subplot (even if the subplot is very small), and an immersive and messed up setting. Claire is interested in characters who were not born heroes, but choose to be, and in stories that have symbolic resonance. Claire is especially interested in fantasy set in non-western inspired worlds (especially Southeast Asia) and in historical fiction set in these areas as well, about real or made-up figures. (I am dreaming of seeing a novel about Anagarika Dharmapala, Mary Foster, and Maria Banta “The Countess”). In Non-Fiction, Claire is interested in Pop-science books that use data to tell clear stories (if you would comp your book to Emily Negoski, I want to see it!) Claire is also interested in narrative non-fiction that walks the line between long-form journalism and ethnography; she’s looking for the next Still Life With Bones, Friday Night Lights, or The Spirit Catches You And You Fall Down. Finally, Claire is looking for new and unexpected histories that are timeless, but touch on present-ist issues, (Eg: A global history of student protest movements and activism; a medical and social history of STIs (STDs); a book on religious pluralism and inter-religious cooperation.) Yes, let’s talk about your dissertation-to-book project. While Claire is interested in books that touch on the topics of religion and politics, she is not in theology or manifestos. Things Claire would like to see Things Claire is not taking at the moment: You can follow Claire on Instagram and Threads at @all.things.elliot When Claire is open to queries, you can query her at https://QueryTracker.net/query/ClaireElliot
