Currently Looking For
Hi there. I represent picture books through adult fiction (not graphic novels) and am in the process of building my list. I will periodically update this page to let you know my current wishlist focus. My website lists the genres I like in general, but my MSWL page will let you know what I am currently looking for. At the moment, I am prioritizing young adult, new adult, and adult. KidLit does have my heart and I plan to sign mg/pb authors in the future, so check back later for an update on those genres. My tastes skew speculative and commercial, but I do like upmarket and literary at times. Current Wishlist: A romantic thread in everything here: Don’t hesitate to query me with another genre in the YA-NA-Adult space. Those are the genres I’m most specifically wanting right now, but I’m open to being surprised by something you’ve written. KidLit writers- Please follow me on socials because I will be open to you at some point! Thanks for considering me! Fun facts about me: About Me As An Agent: I interned for nearly a year with Kaitlyn Sanchez of Bradford Literary and then for a few months with Michelle Witte of Mansion Street. Both are amazing, so if you’re a KidLit writer- check them out! I have a background as both an English teacher and a realtor, and both are applicable to literary agenting. In other words, I am well versed in providing feedback, explaining processes, and negotiating contracts. My communication style is transparent and open. I want clients to feel comfortable throughout their publishing careers and I believe knowledge is key. I’m also a hyper-responsible person and see myself as an advocate and guide for my clients. I love providing editorial feedback and helping clients enhance their manuscripts for submission. I am strategically building my list very slowly. Fun Facts About Me:
