Currently Looking For
Hi! Thanks for finding me here. I love working with authors who write for a broad range of readers, and at this time, I’m focused on authors writing for children, PB-YA. I’m looking for manuscripts I can’t put down until the last page and can’t stop discussing with random strangers in bookstores. Voice is definitely key for me, and I want to find my best friends and partners-in-crime protagonists long after the story ends, whether it’s in this world or an alternate universe. I’m always on the lookout for character-driven stories with strong female protagonists, and if you’re curious about the authors I already represent, I love to spotlight them on my Instagram: thereisnobox.
