Janet is looking for distinctive nonfiction and fiction. She likes biography, history, social science with an angle, and books about words and language. For mystery and other fiction she seeks strong character, plot, sense of place and style. Would love to find the American Denise Mina. Looking at some memoir– in addition to the narrator’s life there must be another element the reader learns about. Prescriptive (how to) nonfiction that is well platformed and a bit counter-intuitive.

Agent Impersonation Scams are becoming commonplace.
A legitimate agent will not contact you and request money to represent you. 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.
