I’m seeking immersive, character-driven adult fiction across a range of genres, including literary fiction, upmarket fiction, book club fiction, contemporary romance, romcoms, mystery/crime with a strong hook, gothic and speculative horror, and high-concept suspense and thrillers.
A few things I’m particularly hungry for
Messy family dramas with characters you can’t help but root for, no matter how much you don’t want to; Unputdownable romance, from romcoms like Emily Henry’s to something on the heavier, emotional side, like SEVEN DAYS IN JUNE by Tia Williams; Family sagas disguised as horror stories, à la THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE; Stories about powerful female friendships and relationships; Social commentary with a speculative edge, in the style of Jordan Peele’s work or SEVERANCE; Dark, twisty suspense & thrillers; Good people doing bad things, along the lines of the BAD SISTERS tv show; Anything that blends genres in a sharp and smart way. Across the board, I’m always eager to represent and champion underrepresented voices and perspectives.
