Genres I Represent

I’m currently open to the following genres:

• Adult: up-market literary and commercial fiction, romance (all subgenres except paranormal), character-driven psychological thrillers, cozy mysteries, and memoir.
• Young Adult: all subgenres except paranormal, fantasy, and sci-fi. I'm particularly interested in contemporary realistic YA -- anything with heart, humor, personality, and depth. But if you've got a fast-paced, chilling mystery, I'm all ears.
• Middle Grade: anything that's smart, accessible and written with flair. Whether it's quirky and funny, dark and creepy, or just plain sweet and heartwarming -- it's no big secret that this is my favorite category. Also, I'd love anything Roald Dahl-esque.
• Picture Books: both fiction and non-fiction. I'm open to all kinds of narratives, but I'm drawn most to stories with heart, wordplay, notes of whimsy, textual economy, and memorable characters.
• Non-fiction: humor.

I’m looking for strong voices and unconventional narratives that really make me sit up, pay attention, and move me. Introduce me to unforgettable characters with complex, deep relationships, and show me worlds where things aren’t necessarily as they seem. Intelligent, sharp writing with soul is my biggest weakness, and if you can offer a fresh perspective on top of that, I’ll probably be sold.

Also—and this deserves its own paragraph—I’m all about diversity and inclusivity, in all its various forms. Bonus points if your book contains multicultural perspectives, and themes of immigration, displacement, and cultural adjustment.
