About Me *** I’m open to queries (fiction and nonfiction) as of January 5, 2026. However, I close intermittently to allow time to stay on top of queries. If my Query Manager form is closed, please check back soon! *** In early 2023, I joined The Rights Factory in Toronto in an editorial assistant role on my path to becoming a literary agent. I bring writing, editing, executive management, and administrative experience to my role, in addition to having a fabulous team of experienced agents behind me, furthering my ability to combine two of my biggest passions: storytelling and helping others succeed. When I get enthusiastic about a potential client’s story, it shows! Aside from a literary agent, I’m also a freelance fiction editor (Foxx Editorial), so my literary clients can be sure they’re getting editorial support as well. Other than the above-mentioned things (and obviously reading!), I enjoy travelling, photography, creative cooking, hiking, and camping/kayaking in Ontario’s beautiful cottage country. I was born and raised in a lovely area of Southern Ontario, spent 6 months in Brazil and 15 years living in BC, AB, and NWT, and returned home to where my heart is in 2019. A romantic to my core, I consider myself mostly country with a bit of big city splash, and I’m convinced my soul resides somewhere in old world Europe. I love coffee, chocolate, cheese, and a good glass of red (not necessarily in that order!). PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL ME YOUR SUBMISSION! Emailed queries will be deleted and unread. The same goes for DM and website contact form submissions. If you have been referred to me by someone who’s given you my email address, please say so in the subject line. What I’m Seeking in Adult Fiction: Memoirs When querying me with your memoir, it should read like fiction. Everything must be true, since it’s technically nonfiction, but it should contain all the propulsive elements that we see in a novel. We need to meet you (the protagonist!) and see your norm, see the inciting incident, meet the antagonist or antagonistic force, we need to know what your goals are, how external circumstances are constantly affecting your internal struggles and ability to meet your goals, who or what stands in your way, and what’s at stake. This all must be woven together with tension, emotion, and voice, with a clear story and character arc–and backstory/flashbacks should be kept to a minimum. If you haven’t taken agent Cece Lyra’s course on memoirs, I highly recommend it! What a memoir is not: your life story; this would be an autobiography (which I am not seeking). A memoir should be about a specific event in your life that drastically changed your trajectory, often impacted by a universally relatable, outside event. Favourite Elements and Tropes High-tension, locked-room mysteries, thrillers in isolated and exotic locations à la The Hunted (Roz Nay), thrillers and suspense with a bit of sarcasm mixed in, past covered-up crimes in the family, twins, adoptions, the
Submission Guidelines
AGAIN, PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL OR DM YOUR QUERY. My submission guidelines are on Query Manager, but please have your query, synopsis, and first chapter ready for fiction queries. For nonfiction, please have ready a complete proposal, including a strong platform with measurable reach (numbers) and individuals/organizations who are already in place to help with publicity. Your proposal should include the first chapter. Please only query me (and any agent) if your fiction manuscript is complete and polished (i.e., several rounds of beta readers/critique partners/revisions, etc.) or, if nonfiction, you have a completed book proposal. Responses: Please note that going forward, I cannot possibly respond to each and every query, as much as I wish I could. If you don’t hear back from me in 12 weeks, you’re welcome to nudge me, and if you still don’t hear from me in another 4 weeks, please consider it a pass.
