About

Anna is interested exclusively in fiction – both literary and speculative, especially when either includes a touch of romance (though that’s not always necessary). In literary fiction, her preferences lean towards coming-of-age adult narratives and contemplative stories – especially when the ending is melancholic or ambiguous. In speculative fiction she is drawn towards fantastical adventures and magic. She loves WHERE THE DARK STANDS STILL by A.B. Poranek and the RANGER’S APPRENTICE series by John Flanagan.
In any story, Anna appreciates clever writing that is infused with humor. While embracing both YA and adult fiction, her specific interest lies in the 'new adult' sub-genre, which seamlessly combines plot elements of YA fiction with the maturity of adult storytelling.

This agent may not respond to all queries. After waiting 56 days, assume your submission will not be accepted.
