Currently Looking For
I am currently highly interested in developing my adult commercial fiction list. I have a particular eye out for vibrant and fun women’s fiction and romance, mysteries and thrillers by authors from underrepresented backgrounds, and unusual upmarket book club fiction. My dream is to sign a muscular thriller series with a franchise-friendly main character. I love romantic comedies, but want the comedy to be as prevalent as the romance. I am always looking for series mystery. I’d love to find a new and unique puzzle book series. In romantasy, I’m looking for original and creative mythologies with well-concepted world-building and a satisfying ending; slow-burn romance, especially with queer characters, is a plus. I represent pop culture nonfiction, but on a highly selective basis. Fun facts about me: I am a very slow runner, but I listen to audiobooks at 3.0x speed.
