About

I have the best job at WCA, in my humble opinion – Literary Agent and International Rights Director. I get to work closely with my agent colleagues to represent WCA’s authors in the international marketplace while simultaneously growing my own list of authors and helping them build their careers. It’s the best of two worlds and allows me to work collaboratively with everyone at WCA – and it keeps me on my toes, with no two days being the same. Because I wear more than one hat, I’m sometimes slower to respond to queries than I’d like to be (I’m a work in progress!). Thank you for trusting me with your submissions.

This agent may not respond to all queries. After waiting 180 days, assume your submission will not be accepted.

Fiction Temp Closed

Fiction: Literary fiction (think big, sweeping narratives and multigenerational sagas that span locations and time like Yaa Gyasi’s Homegoing or Kate Atkinson’s Life After Life), upmarket book club fiction that doesn’t shy away from tough subjects (think anything by Taylor Jenkins Reid or Marian Keyes), crime novels (please no police officer protagonists), thrillers (like In a Dark, Dark Wood by Ruth Ware), mysteries (think Thomas King’s DreadfulWater series), historical fiction (think The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead, The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, The Toss of a Lemon by Padma Viswanathan, or Washington Black by Esi Edugyan) and romcoms (à la Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan or The Flatshare by Beth O’Leary). I love humour and I love a speculative or magical element (think The Centaur’s Wife by Amanda Leduc or Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel) though I am not the agent for science fiction or fantasy. I’m also not the right agent for poetry or erotica.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the agent or agency being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the agent/agency meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the agency/agent.
  • Unless the agency's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • For agency submissions, it is standard to submit a query letter and sample instead of the full manuscript. Do this unless otherwise instructed.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
