Audrey Clare Farley

Also looking for stylish nonfiction in the vein of Alex Marzano-Lesnevish's The Fact of a Body, Maggie's Smith's You Could Make This Place Beautiful, and Matthew Zapruder's The Story of a Poem.

My dream project would be MILDRED, a biography of Pope Leo's mother. (I'm generally fascinated by the Catholic Church, which I find to be both gothic and life-giving.) A favorite book is Skinfolk by Matthew Pratt Guterl.

I am especially looking for essay collections and cultural criticism that combat MAGA and AI culture by inviting readers to wonder, dream, and build a culture of encounter. At a time of scale, spectacle, and predictability, I like stories that are quiet, surprising, strange, and unruly. #MSWL

Hello Writers! I am a new agent at Hyponymous Literary, looking for manuscripts that ask questions and show deep curiosity about their subject. I admire writers who make space for tension and who see the texture in the world, including in other people. #MSWL
