Currently Looking For
Lisa Gouldy is a passionate writer and reader of stories that stretch the imagination and reveal important truths about the world around us. Trained as an attorney, Lisa moved from the legal world into the literary one nearly a decade ago in search of stories less constrained by reality. As an associate literary agent with the Corvisiero Literary Agency, Lisa guides writers through the publishing process the way she once helped clients access the courts. Lisa loves stories with lyrical writing, memorable characters, and fast-paced plots that keep her guessing. In adult fiction, she devours upmarket and literary titles with complex protagonists, and has a special hunger for stories with speculative elements. Her sweet spot is a novel with a world much like ours, but with fantasy, sci-fi, or dystopian additions that illuminate real-life issues in a unique way. In children’s literature, Lisa particularly enjoys middle grade fantasy and young adult novels with a speculative bent, as well as picture books that make her laugh or cry. Here’s what Lisa would love to see in her query box (though she loves surprises too!): Adult Fiction Middle Grade & Young Adult Picture Books
