I am HUNGRY for adult non fiction from expert voices in their field. I'm very, very open to a wide variety of topics (surprise me!), though anything about death, death doulas, menopause, chronic illness, and medical gaslighting is likely to catch my eye.

Very much still looking for horror in the adult, YA and MG space! Also, humorous mystery a la Only Murders/Finlay Donovan is (still) hitting my sweet spot.

In adult and YA fiction, I'd love to see genre blends--particularly thriller + romance / horror + romance / horror + fantasy!

On the adult side, I'm VERY much looking for book club fiction, i.e. upmarket, which is basically a commercial plot with literary writing. If you comp to Britt Marie Was Here or Eleanor Oliphant, PLEASE HIT SEND, thank you.

in advance of opening to queries tomorrow (!!!!), some #mswl ... & please note this is NOT an exclusive list. I'm open to nearly anything in the adult/YA/MG fiction and adult non fiction categories! (though I'm not open to PBs)

Lil' heads up--when I reopen to queries this fall, in addition to fiction, I'll be opening widely to ALL categories of adult non-fiction.

I'd also love to connect with some self-pub'd writers looking for an agent to help exploit audio and foreign rights! 👀

7) Another adult nonfiction I’d die to rep (pun intended) is anything about death. Alternative funerals, at home body care, an emphasis on choice. I’d love something by a #deathdoula or an anthology from #hospice nurses.

5) I am obsessed with adult thrillers and would love to find anything that comps to Lucy Foley, Eliza Jane Brazier, Laurie Elizabeth Flynn, May Cobb, Jeneva Rose. Make me connect with characters that have a surprise dark side, and then twist the knife into me at the end!

4) In the adult nonfiction space, I'm dying for books by LGBTQ+ evangelicals who are challenging the Christian space from within the faith and bringing new perspectives (Kate Bowler, Matthew Vines, Rachel Held Evans)
