I’m a self-professed publishing nerd. As a kid, I would tag along with my mom when she went to college, and settle in for the day in a cozy leather chair in the dean’s office and just read. Nothing brings me greater joy than to fall into a really great book. I am actively building my young adult list at the moment, though I also tend to represent picture book authors and illustrators as well as graphic novels.
Young Adult
You know that feeling when you read a book you love and you just squee with joy at all the delicious tension? Yeah, I am looking for that. I love a well written book, and I love high concept stories. Take me from my everyday life. Some books I have repped in this space include A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow by New York Times bestselling author Laura Taylor Namey, These Feathered Flames by Alexandra Overy, and the upcoming Time and Time Again by Lit Up author Chatham Greenfield.
Some things I would love to see
an atmospheric mermaid novel Ren Fair book an epic sweeping romances
And if you have something that is
Sex And The City meets Lady Whistledown meets Sex Lives Of College Girls, GIMME. Picture Books: This is the area I tend to be pickiest in. And I read with my gut so I usually don’t know what I love until I see it.
