Anna's goal is to help her clients create beautiful books, both visually and textually, and to find the best publishing home for each book. She represents picture books and graphic novels and seeks out author-illustrators who enjoy the challenge of revising, and who maintain perseverance in the wake of long silences from editors.
Annie is seeking adult literary, upmarket, and commercial fiction in the following areas: contemporary fiction, general fiction, women's fiction, sharp romantic comedy, psychological thrillers/suspense, mystery, and light/clever horror. She welcomes diverse narratives, including but not limited to LGBTQ+ and underrepresented ethnicities/cultures.
Daniel is seeking fantasy across all subgenres, dark academia, retellings, and historical fiction. She is particularly interested in stories with romantic elements, unique settings, and high stakes. She is drawn to vulnerable protagonists who discover their strength and finds morally gray characters compelling. For non-fiction, she's drawn to historical narratives and all things esoteric.
Jared is looking for fiction across a variety of genres, as well as platformed nonfiction. He loves narratives that highlight relationships and that encourage him to think about the world in a new way. Bold and adventurous styles of writing will always grab his attention.
Kimberly is seeking mystery, thriller, suspense, horror, romance, fantasy, romantasy, and science fiction. She is drawn to commercial writing with big plots, unique hooks, and high stakes. In the nonfiction space, she is looking for fresh bold voices who are experts in their topics and who have cultivated a focused and engaging platform.
Madison is looking for stories with romanticized worlds and literary merit.
She’d love to indulge in magical realism, low fantasies, high fantasies, and romantasies with whimsical worlds and undeniable chemistry.
Yael loves a good story—especially if it’s nonfiction, speculative fiction, Jewish, or laugh-out-loud funny. She’s drawn to manuscripts with a classic hero’s journey at the core, told with heart, grit, and a spark of something fresh. If it brings people together across cultures, even better.
