As a Literary Agent, I am actively building my client list. I specialize in commercial and genre fiction for children and adults, written by authors of color.
I am eager to work with writers of color, including (but not limited to) trans people, disabled people, religious minorities, and queer folks.
Adult and Young Adult fiction: I like books I can read on a beach vacation — fun commercial fiction, romance that ranges from sweet to steamy, otherworldly fantasy, and sweeping historical fiction. For reference, my faves include Kevin Kwan, Alisha Rai, N.K. Jemisin, Philippa Gregory, Nicola Yoon, Marie Lu, and Elizabeth Wein. I do not represent literary fiction, mysteries or thrillers.
Middle Grade and younger: I love humour, adventure, and make believe. I also enjoy stories about children navigating their changing relationships with family and friends. I strongly prefer books with at least one human character. My faves include Jason Reynolds, Dan Santat, Dav Pilkey, and Christopher Paul Curtis. I do not represent picture books.
Non-fiction: At this time I am accepting non-fiction proposals by referral only.
