Currently Looking For
Please note that I am not currently accepting queries. Thank you to everyone who shared their work with me! I grew up on fantasy novels and 90’s kidlit horror like Bunnicula and Goosebumps. These days, I spend a lot of my recreational reading time with slice of life manga, sometimes with speculative elements, like Laid-Back Camp and I Am a Cat Barista. I can never resist an offbeat thriller, like Good Rich People, or learning something new, like I did in The Betrayal of Anne Frank. Communication Style Please note that while I am happy to hop on the phone when needed, I have a strong preference for written (Email or text) communication in my work with my clients. What I Love I represent across age categories and genres, including graphic and illustrated works in both fiction and non-fiction. I am seeking: You know that feeling when you have to go somewhere, and you’re reading, and you have to close the book, but it is just the tiniest bit physically painful to do it?

My list is comprised of stories that reflect the real diversity of our world, mostly drawing on first-hand lived experiences of people traditionally underrepresented in traditional publishing. Please note that although it is not my only focus, I am interested in faith-based works, and would like to see queries from authors who are interested in working with Christian publishers. I also love working with poets who are transitioning into working on prose projects. Fiction My favourite thing to read is progressive, observant, upmarket fiction, with exquisite but accessible line-level writing. I am most delighted when I get books that are so weird I could never have predicted them – I love the feeling of being unsettled. Murder is my comfort read. Please note that I am not seeking romantasy. Genres that I am seeking across age categories: I have a strong preference in SFF for cozy fantasy, in the vein of LEGENDS AND LATTES, THE TEA DRAGON SOCIETY, the Skyjacks: Courier’s Call podcast, or Sousou no Frieren manga or anime – but I absolutely adore titles like these, and would love to see them in my inbox! Favorite themes across age categories (not all in the same book!): Non-Fiction All non-fiction submissions should include a book proposal rather than a completed manuscript. I love storytelling reminiscent of a high production podcast miniseries. I listen to a lot of them in my downtime, and when that experience is replicated on the page, it’s fantastic. Interests, across age categories: I am not the right fit for…
