Literary Assistant
Iβm not the right fit for: military/police novels, βreturn to hometownβ romances, fantasy, science fiction, most young adult, and WWI/WWII historical fiction.

Literary Assistant
Iβm on the lookout for family sagas, new adult-ish protagonists, and anything that explores the human experience with nuance.

Literary Assistant
In literary fiction, Iβm interested in messy people making tough choices, campus novels, unlikeable narrators (especially women who either gaslight, girlboss, or gatekeep) who may or may not win you over, and atmospheric writing styles.

Literary Assistant
In historical fiction, Iβd prefer stories not set in Western Europe or the USA. Hidden histories and female-led retellings are also up my alley.

Literary Assistant
Some tweet-sized updates: For book club fiction, I love voice-driven writing, a social commentary that resonates with the current culture, or a critique on the ideals of femininity.
