I’ve been an agent with Aevitas Creative Management since 2018, representing adult fiction and nonfiction that makes our world weirder, kinder, more joyful, or all three. Based in Boston, I hold a degree in English from Yale University, attended the Clarion Writers Workshop, and earned an MFA in fiction from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, where I served as an editor for The Greensboro Review. I am seeking beautifully told queer stories; genre-bending literary fiction; smart, feminist vacation reads; and quirky romance and crossover fantasy. My other passions include illustrated memoir and nonfiction; narrative nonfiction books about food, language, culture, and queerness; and well earned happy endings—particularly for characters underrepresented in mainstream publishing. With very few exceptions, I don’t represent YA or children’s books, and I rarely read or work on thrillers; true crime; or memoirs without a researched, reported, or critical element. Submission Guidelines I’m open to queries on the first week of every month. Guidelines & Details Vital Info @frecklywench Website Agent
