Collapse section Fiction Open She is especially interested in excellent writing, compelling plots, diverse and unexpected voices and thoroughly engrossing reads. She loves books that are as escapist as they are explorative; as transportive as they are reflective. Her tastes are omnivorous. She particularly loves literary/commercial crossover fiction, Romantasy, psychological thrillers and suspense, intense or funny family dramas, savvy love stories; ambitious crime and thriller, smart historical, speculative and magical realism. Most of all she wants stories that make her care as well as compel her to read on.Audience:Open to a broad Audience, including: Adults.Genres: General Subgenres: Historical, Women's Fiction Horror Open to all/most Subgenres Mystery/Crime Open to all/most Subgenres Suspense/Thriller Open to all/most SubgenresLengths: NovelStyles:Open to all/most Styles, including: Literary, Mainstream.Topics: Open to all/most Topics.Submissions:Method: Email.

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.
