Currently Looking For
I’m a Vice President at Dystel, Goderich & Bourret and have a small and carefully cultivated client list, in addition to being the agency’s director of subsidiary rights. Most of the nonfiction I represent is for the adult market and has a social justice connection (including non-fiction that isn’t primarily about social justice but is written from the perspective of and centering the needs of a community underrepresented in that field/discipline). My adult fiction taste can best be described as upmarket commercial and accessible literary, and I’m most partial to literary fiction, contemporary romance, women’s fiction, and domestic and psychological suspense. In children’s I concentrate on middle grade and young adult fiction. In middle grade I run the genre spectrum. In YA I tend toward grounded contemporary, from fun and fluffy (please send me more fun and fluffy!!!!) to sad and serious. Here’s what’s on my specific wishlist as of November 2019:
