I'm currently seeking middle grade and young adult fiction and graphic novels, especially with diverse points of view. I also want general adult fiction, women’s fiction, and graphic novels for adults. I represent a select number of established illustrators and picture book authors. I’d love to find an original rom-com that would inspire the next smart and funny chick flick. I love contemporary as well as historical works, and I’m always interested in a fresh non-gory ghost story for any age. I enjoy fantasy and speculative elements, and I’m on the hunt for unique and funny romantasy. I’m fascinated with hidden treasures, artifacts and with discovering ancient civilizations right beneath our feet. As a huge fan of folklore and fairy tales, I always enjoy those elements woven into a story in a unique way. Overall, books that are original, moving and/or hilarious are especially welcome.

I'm NOT interested in Christian fiction, horsey books, erotica, category romance (though romantic elements are welcomed in novels), or books that feature graphic violence.

I represent non-fiction for children and for adults. For children’s, I’m open to most non-fiction subjects, especially ones that fit into my interests.

In the adult realm, I want memoirs with strong voices and unique, inspiring stories (including foodie memoirs, or ones with a celebrity or pop culture connection). In non-fiction, I’m seeking narrative non-fiction, pop culture, history (little known or unique view of well-known), science and technology for the rest of us, art, biography (especially unknown/little known sides of well-known people), parenting, cooking and food, health and wellness, lifestyle, advice and relationships, and personal finance.

Overall, I’m especially looking for non-fiction that is inspiring and hopeful. I have a special interest in social justice, in titles that elevate and celebrate women and diverse people, and in books that aim to improve our society and help our environment.
