Currently Looking For
I am a huge fan of mystery/thriller/suspense and am eager to find crime fiction with a fresh voice. BIPOC, LGBTQ, disabled writers and main characters especially welcome. I love domestic and psychological suspense, traditional mysteries, and twisty stand-alone thrillers. Unreliable narrators are a favorite. Since 2018, projects I’ve represented have won or been nominated for the Agatha, Anthony, Edgar, Lefty, Macavity, Mary Higgins Clark Award, and Strand Critics Award, among others. I loved recent books by Jesse Q. Sutanto, Elise Bryant, Lev A.C. Rosen, Simone St. James, and Halley Sutton. I also love book club fiction and women’s fiction–stories of family secrets, friendships, and sibling relationships in particular–like the work of Virginia Evans, Kiley Reid, Charmaine Wilkerson, Ann Patchett, and Taylor Jenkins Reid.
