Collapse section Fiction Open For fiction, I most enjoy dark, mind-bending narratives, often with a unique world-building element, that strike a chord with their audience. Whatever genre - horror, science fiction, psychological thrillers, etc. - I find myself struck by stories that reveal some dark, hidden facts about the people or world around us. That said, I also have a soft spot for LGBTQIA+ fiction, which I read guiltily while the latest Stephen King novel sits judging me from my bedside table.Audience:Open to a broad Audience.Genres: Horror Open to all/most Subgenres Science Fiction Open to all/most Subgenres Suspense/Thriller Open to all/most SubgenresLengths: NovelStyles:Open to all/most Styles, including: Mainstream.Topics: Open to all/most Topics.Submissions:Method: QueryTracker.

Collapse section Nonfiction Open I'm driven most to read and represent narrative nonfiction that tell stories of triumph over extreme hardship on the non-fiction side. I'm an avid consumer of true crime by writers personally invested in the story that they are telling and/or with inside information in a case, whether cold or solved. I will pick up the occasional science and psychology book by an expert in their field to better understand myself and how the world operates. A good rule of thumb when submitting a proposal to me is to consider the marketability of your work. Does your work/your platform have publicity potential? If the answer is yes, I'm usually intrigued.Audience:Open to a broad Audience.Lengths: BookStyles:Open to all/most Styles, including: Mainstream, Personal.Topics: Open to all/most Topics including...

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.
