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 authors, trans/genderqueer authors of color, and authors who identify as Polynesian, Micronesian, or Melanesian.

what to query with:

General Interests

Strong writing is a must, always. Tonally, my tastes are broad, but I am always looking for personality. I have soft spots for weird, sharp senses of humor geared towards readerships raised online, and characters who consistently find themselves in conflict with the world – whether that’s 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 also unlikely to be interested in commercial thrillers without some sort of genre blend, genre romance, and crime fiction.

Young Adult

My taste in YA is simple: I want stories my fifteen-year-old self would’ve dedicated a tumblr blog to. Anything driven by the emotions present in your teens, so long as they’re raw and real and explosive. I adore worlds I can get lost in, be it an unfamiliar historical epoch; a magical world similar to ours, but not quite; a dystopian future crafted by the poor decisions of today; etc.

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

A lot of my interests in YA apply here as well, but with less emotional “newness” and underdeveloped frontal lobes. I prioritize literary writing when it comes to my adult list, and enjoy stories with themes that resonate as profoundly on a societal level as an individual one.

I’m also interested in adult fiction centered around communities and spaces, be it a public library or a park, an isolated island in the middle of the sea, or a workplace. 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.
