I represent young adult and adult fiction written across genres, as well as select nonfiction about entertainment and pop culture. I prioritize authors from underrepresented communities across my list, including writers of color, disabled writers, queer writers, and neurodivergent writers. I’d especially welcome queries from Muslim and Arab authors, trans/genderqueer authors of color, and Polynesian, Micronesian, or Melanesian authors.

what to query with:

General Interests

My tastes are broad, but I’m always looking for strong craft and personality. I have soft spots for weird, offbeat humor geared towards Millennials/Gen Z, and characters who find themselves in conflict with the world, whether as the defense or the prosecution. While I’m open to most genres, I’m a harder sell on high fantasy, hard sci-fi, and space operas (I prefer speculative fiction on the lighter side). I’m unlikely to be interested in genre romance, crime fiction, or commercial thrillers without some sort of genre blend.

Young Adult

I’m looking for stories I would’ve dedicated my tumblr blog to when I was fifteen. I want detailed, 3D characters driven by the emotions present in your teens (whether dark or light) so long as they’re raw, real, and explosive.

To rattle off a list of random interests: fandom and fan culture (think dueling Tw*tter Larrys, a K-pop sasaeng thriller, 2010s British YouTuber fangirls, etc.); teenagers with OCD; well-researched historical fiction; anything set in an old-money private schools from the perspective of the scholarship kid; bubblegum thrillers; queer horror; animated Barbie movie vibes (bonus points for fairies or mermaids); girls who are disasters; all-consuming yearning; rag-tag teams of misfits. If your MC can be described as a weirdo who feels too much, I want to read about them.

Adult

I prioritize stellar writing when it comes to my adult list, and enjoy upmarket and literary fiction that explores societal themes through hyper-specific narratives (think Yaa Gyasi’s Transcendent Kingdom), and both commercial and upmarket speculative fiction with stellar writing.

I want women and other marginalized people who are fed up, and ready to do something about it. I want late-bloomers experiencing their first love, or a lifelong outcast finding people who truly care for them. I want to read about a peasant living through a major historical era, and they have no idea – they just want money to buy bread.

I enjoy dark, twisty plots; light, cozy reads; and reflective, atmospheric strolls in equal measure.

Non-Fiction

I’m VERY selective with non-fiction; I am only interested in receiving proposals from qualified figures within the entertainment and/or theatre industries, as well as experts on fandom/pop culture topics. I’d love anything in the vein of Everything I Need I Get From You, particularly exploring the evolution of fanfiction in fandom spaces, the history of tumblr, and/or the Golden Age of YouTube Vloggers in the mid-2010s.

I’m also interested in receiving proposals about the creation of popular TV shows or film phenomenons. Particularly of interest would be Succession, Heated Rivalry, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, or 30 Rock. I’d love something that delves into the rise of K-dramas and/or K-pop in international markets.

**what i’m not looking for:**

I do NOT represent memoirs, picture books, middle grade, or graphic novels of ANY KIND!

Without exception, I do NOT represent: erotica; high fantasy/sci-fi; cop/detective/private investigator books; US military/politics books; books about WWI or WWII; Greek/Roman/Norse mythology; books about most sports; British historical romance; books that romanticize gang life or the mafia; military academy-esque SFF/dystopia; graphic depictions of sexual assault, self-harm, or suicide attempts; excessive violence towards animals; or anything where a pet dies.
