Collapse section Fiction Open In fiction, she’s seeking upmarket and book club fiction (to her, this means a high concept, commercial hook with more upmarket or literary writing), stories with an element of mystery or suspense, and is always looking for a propulsive plot married with beautiful writing. She’s eagerly looking for historical fiction, literary horror, and grounded SFF (she is not the best fit for epic sci-fi or fantasy) written by women of color, coming-of-age-stories, and retellings from around the world.Audience:Open to a broad Audience, including: All ages, Adults, Young adults, All ethnic groups/populations.Genres: General Subgenres: Gothic, Historical, Magic Realism, Women's Fiction Fantasy Open to all/most Subgenres, excluding Sword & Sorcery Horror Open to all/most Subgenres Mystery/Crime Open to all/most Subgenres, excluding Detective, Hardboiled, Police Procedural Science Fiction Open to all/most Subgenres, excluding Cyberpunk, Dystopian, Hard Science Fiction Suspense/Thriller Open to all/most Subgenres, excluding Legal ThrillerLengths: NovelStyles:Open to all/most Styles, including: Literary, Mainstream.Topics: Open to all/most Topics.Submissions:Method: QueryTracker.

Collapse section Nonfiction Open In nonfiction, her tastes trend toward expert-driven narrative nonfiction, cultural criticism, history, and pop culture; regardless of genre, books that are engaging with a contemporary conversation are always of interest. In YA, she’d love books with murder and intrigue, featuring unexpected places and unexpected heroines; more immigrant stories; queer stories; girls quietly (or loudly) working for justice, and of course, a light-hearted contemporary romp to balance out all the murder.Audience:Open to a broad Audience.Lengths: Narrative Nonfiction BookStyles:Open to all/most Styles, including: Mainstream.Topics: History.

Never pay an agent an up-front fee. That is not how literary agent representation works. Agents earn a commission only after they've landed a publishing deal for you. Also, agents scarcely ever contact writers. If an agent that you haven't queried contacts you about representation, be suspicious. Look up the agent and check if the email address is correct for that agent/agency.
