Natalie Rosselli joined the Aaron Priest Literary Agency in 2022 as the agency assistant while earning her MFA in Popular Fiction Writing and Publishing from Emerson College. During her time with the agency, she’s worked with numerous authors including David Baldacci. She is actively building her list. Natalie is currently most interested in and actively seeking out adult fiction, specifically in the following genres: romance, romantasy, and women’s fiction. In romance, she’s interested in a wide range of subgenres, including historical, contemporary, romcom, western/cowboy, fantasy, and gothic romance. Some of her favorite tropes include enemies to lovers/hate to love, workplace romance, forbidden love, fake dating, alpha heroes, marriage of convenience, and forced proximity. She loves stories with big city settings and high emotional stakes. In romantasy, she’s looking for an equal balance between the love story and world-building, stories that lean gothic, and premises with a fresh take on the tried-and-true tropes of the genre. She’s partial to stories with elemental magic, female characters who can hold their own in a fight, and enemies to lovers storylines. In women’s fiction, she’s looking for narratives with a great depth of emotion, explorations of female friendship, coming of age journeys, and mother-daughter stories.
