In #PB I’m on the lookout for funny, child-centered books with a clear narrative arc and amazing character who could possibly carry more than one story. I’m not looking for PB bios right now, but am open to NF that surprises, especially if it involves the natural sciences.

I represent creators of graphic novels and graphic nonfiction for all age categories. I’m particularly looking for graphic novel proposals that push the boundaries of the format—a book that NEEDS to be in a visual, sequential format. #MSWL

Like many others, I’m really feeling cozy, hopeful, and even silly vibes right now. Give me light to fight the darkness! In fiction, I want a humorous friendship romp! In nonfiction I’m looking more for untold inspirational stories and curiosities than exposés and diatribes.

One more #MSWL post. It's not enough for nonfiction authors to have a good idea and to write skillfully. I tell my clients they must quanifty themselves. Don't expect the publisher to build your platform; they seek to leverage yours!

I also enjoy narrative nonfiction, including books that blend memoir with another genre, like memoir + true crime or memoir + a deep dive into the history of a certain phenomena. #MSWL

On the nonfiction side, I'm looking for fresh prescriptive nonfiction with a strong platform. I'm drawn to books made for an underrepresented audience, as long as there's a clear market for them. #MSWL

I'm drawn to books that are psychological, whether that means a psychological thriller, a novel with a really strong character, or a narrative nonfiction psychology book. #MSWL
