Currently Looking For
I joined BookStop Literary Agency in 2014 and am currently looking to build my YA and MG client list. My favorite genres include gothic novels with twisty narratives and dark secrets, historical fiction, literary thrillers, well-drawn fantasy, and heart-tugging contemporary stories. I’m looking for anything with memorable characters, an engaging voice, and a tightrope-taut plot. I hold an MFA in Creative Writing, have completed three publishing internships, and previously worked as a bookseller and buyer in a small independent bookstore. My background has given me a unique perspective on the book industry, as well as the skills to find and promote books I love. For MG I’m interested in: Anything with a classic and/or timeless feel, adventure, historical, friendship & family, magic & whimsy, spooky, mystery, and magical realism. For YA: Non-western fantasy, Magical realism, Genre blends, Historical, Rom-com or character-driven contemporary, fairytale or myth retellings done in a new way, gothic, literary thriller Across the board I have a weakness for anything with: multiple converging storylines (think Holes), multiple narrators, twins, romance, genre blends, gothic elements, family secrets, dual timelines, epistolary format. Specific things I’m on the hunt for: *Bonus points for submissions that contain multiple of these elements! I am generally not a good match for “issue books,” heavy contemporary stories, drug/alcohol addiction stories; or sci-fi. Fun facts about me: I’m a dog lover, identical twin, movie buff, board game enthusiast, religious tea drinker, mother of two tiny people, and wife to my high school sweetheart.
