![]() ![]() *Cookbooks and food writing (including food history) I’m actively looking for projects in the following areas: NON-FICTION: I represent a wide variety of NF and looking for authors with a very strong platform along with a fresh idea and expertise in the area they propose to write a book. Some of my favorite non-client authors are Michael Chabon, Nicole Krauss, Graham Swift, Margaret Atwood, Barbara Kingsolver, Abraham Verghese, and Tana French. I love to get lost in anything that teaches me about another place and time through the lens of the character. ![]() I’m not the right agent for your animal-narrated or adventure MG.ĪDULT: I represent very select adult fiction titles and live for dark, raw voices that make me see the world in a new way. MG and Chapter Books: mainly contemporary stories that have a classic, evergreen feel to them. My YA taste runs much lighter, fun and romancy than adult fiction. I also enjoy lighter fare like ANNA AND THE FRENCH KISS. I will always get excited about strong sense of voice and writing that packs an emotional punch, like Sara Zarr’s STORY OF A GIRL. I love quirky, humorous writing in contemporary YA, and always looking for something with a strong hook (whether it’s a sweeping sci-fi trilogy, or a contemporary story of friendship and first love). YA: contemporary, fantasy, sci-fi, historical, magical realism, thrillers, issue books In addition to representing authors, I am the Director of International Rights at Folio and attend all the major international book fairs, keeping my finger on the pulse of what's working in book markets worldwide. One of the most thrilling aspects of my job is the constant exposure to a wide variety of topics it’s truly thrilling to play a part ushering innovative projects into the world. What I love most about being an agent is finding new voices that can express something in a fresh way or new subject matter that makes me view the world differently, whether it’s through fiction or non-fiction. ![]()
