Collapse section Fiction Open

Tyler is drawn to fiction that ruptures routine and transforms the textures of everyday life into something electric—novels grounded in a strong sense of place, with charged family dynamics, and a current of restless desire, particularly when shaped by playfulness or formal invention. He is especially interested in literary and upmarket fiction that balances emotional depth with narrative momentum.

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.
