What I'm looking for:
I’m interested in a range of MG, YA, and adult commercial fiction, from fantasy, to thrillers, to romcoms. Some things that I’m particularly interested in:
- Fantasy, across all age categories, from sweeping secondary-world epics to more grounded fantasy, to character driven stories with a dash of magic
- I also love contemporary fantasy that can take place in our world while still feeling epic, any kind of villain book, and fantasies with a driving romance.
- YA thrillers and mysteries, from whodunits, to locked rooms and dwindling casts, to psychological thrillers—anything tense and compelling, that can keep me guessing
- I’d love to see thrillers in adult as well—I’m especially interested in psychological thrillers, domestic suspense, as well as anything mystery driven that can keep me up guessing.
- I also always love a social thriller full of twists, or an Eat The Rich story in the vein of KNIVES OUT
- Horror in MG, YA, and Adult
- In YA, I’m especially interested in queer and diverse horror—both stories that take on old horror tropes in new ways, as well as stories that are just a scary good time (and books that do both!)
- In MG, I love books to read with a flashlight (and again, diverse stories especially), and or anything with a creepy atmospheric.
- In Adult, I'm always looking for stories that makes us care deeply about their cast (even at their most messy, heartpounding, and unhinged), and anything that's just a collective shriek of terror and rage
- Romcoms in Adult and YA—anything fun and full of chemistry, with leads we can’t help falling in love with
- I have a particular soft-spot for queer romcoms (and queer romance in general!), for pretty much any trope—slow-burns, love triangles, and shippable friends- or enemies-to-lovers
- I am actively seeking underrepresented voices, including BIPOC, LGBTQIA, disability, neurodiversity, and mental illness, and books where multiple identities intersect. I’d also love to see more positive fat rep, and books with a diversity of body types.
- I always love to be surprised, and I often fall hard for books that I didn't know to ask for--while I hope that this list gives you a sense of my tastes and some things that I would love to see, if you think we'd be a good fit, please feel free to reach out!
What I'm not currently looking for:
I don't represent ANY nonfiction, memoirs, picture books, chapter books for young readers, screenplays, erotica, or inspirational/faith-based fiction.
While I do represent select science fiction, I am incredibly selective about these titles, and generally take very little of it. Space opera, hard sci-fi, military SF, and anything set in space is typically a very hard sell for me. (Unless it's a GIDEON THE NINTH situation, where there's a lot of lesbian necromancers and bone magic, and a little bit of space.)

Some specific things I'd love to find:
- I have a huge soft spot for trans and non-binary stories! I would love more of these in all categories.
- Likewise, I would FIGHT for a sweepingly epic ace-spec love story--demi characters who team up to save the world and accidentally fall in love, aro characters who would burn cities for their friends, queer platonic relationships, ace romances, any and all of it
- Haunted forests, haunted houses, anything haunted
- Anything full of secrets
- Rich People Being Terrible
- Villain books
