Taj McCoy

Taj is currently looking for BIPOC representation across both adult commercial and upmarket Mystery/Thriller/Suspense (including Romantic Suspense) and would love to add some authors to my list who write high-stakes mysteries, especially ones featuring ensembles, intergenerational family dynamics, and/or main characters outside of law enforcement, military, or journalism; thrillers involving best friends, roommates, or siblings, and/or small-town dynamics; funny cozies with romantic elements and strong series potential.

Taj is open to stories outside of these elements, including historical, academia, and speculative ones; however, she does tend to steer clear of stories featuring SA or on-page abuse. She is also considering MG and YA, including ones with spooky or paranormal elements.

I'm looking for Adult biographies and memoirs which shed light on people and parts of history that are often erased or forgotten, self-help collections focused on empowerment, cookbooks that highlight family traditions and culture, and YA and MG non-fiction that highlights historical figures and innovators who aren’t included in today’s curriculum. I'm also looking for fresh takes on health and wellness, as well as financial literacy, that addresses marginalized communities.
