Currently Looking For
I am an associate editor at Little, Brown, where I acquire literary fiction and narrative nonfiction. I am most interested in works that explore complex, unconventional relationships and characters, human psychology, and underrepresented voices, and I have a soft spot for literary horror and speculative fiction. Prior to joining Little, Brown, I spent several years working in clinical psychology and the nonprofit world. I began my publishing career as an intern at Grove/Atlantic. As a side effect of my former career, I’m especially drawn to books with rich psychological exploration or unconventional, complex interpersonal relationships—what I call “psychological X-rays” of their characters. I also love projects that explore LGBTQ+ themes, motherhood and daughterhood, and POC stories. Within fiction, I am looking for: Within nonfiction, I am looking for authors with a strong point of view and storytelling ability. I am drawn to: Books I have published include the New York Times bestseller The Eyes of Gaza by Plestia Alaqad, the Los Angeles Times bestseller Dinner with King Tut by Sam Kean, and Ghost Fish by Stuart Pennebaker. Other authors I’ve had the pleasure of working with include Zaina Arafat, Jeremy Atherton Lin, Maureen Callahan, Congressman James E. Clyburn, Melissa Faliveno, Jimin Han, Tom Lin, Youngmi Mayer, Kim Stanley Robinson, David Treuer, and Stephanie Wambugu.
