Mytecia Myles is a new, actively list-building agent at Embolden Media Group who focuses on nonfiction by BIPOC and women authors, faith-and-wellness titles, and select fiction—making them a strong match for underrepresented voices with purpose-driven stories.
In brief
Mytecia Myles is a new agent, meaning their client list is still forming — this is one of the best windows to query them before the list matures and they grow more selective.
Their wishlist skews heavily toward nonfiction: biography, memoir (specifically by BIPOC authors), wellness, faith/spirituality, business, and women's stories are all explicitly named priorities.
The fiction side is narrow and specific — biographical fiction, historical fiction, and travel/destination fiction only — suggesting Myles wants fiction grounded in real lives, real places, or real eras rather than purely invented worlds.
No confirmed sales record is available at this time, so their commercial track record cannot yet be assessed; writers should weigh the opportunity of a building list against the uncertainty of a newer agent.
Myles brings a background in PR, communications, media management, and writing coaching, which signals they may be especially useful for authors who need platform development alongside representation.
Lately
A major industry trade publication for writers featured Myles in a new-agent spotlight, describing them as a creative, bold, and authentic leader entering the agenting space while actively building a client list — a direct signal that queries are encouraged and the list is wide open.
What Mytecia is looking for
Myles has a specific gate here: memoir must be written by BIPOC authors. This is not a general memoir call — writers outside that identity should not query this category. Within that scope, Myles appears drawn to authentic, personal narratives with cultural weight and purpose.
Both full biography (of another subject) and autobiography are welcome. Given Myles's background in PR and communications, titles connected to public figures, leaders, or change-makers would likely resonate.
One of the most detailed categories in Myles's wishlist — they name faith and spiritual growth, prayer and intercession, spiritual gifts, healing, meditation, and mindfulness as all welcome. This breadth suggests genuine enthusiasm rather than a passing interest. Writers in the Christian living, faith-based wellness, or charismatic/contemplative spaces have a real opportunity here.
Career, entrepreneurship, and leadership titles sit alongside business, reflecting Myles's own background as a founder and communications executive. Practical, professional nonfiction with a strong author platform is likely a good match.
Myles explicitly names beauty, natural health, and wellness as a target category. This may connect to the faith/spirituality strand — holistic wellness titles with a values-driven angle could be particularly appealing.
Myles singles out women's stories and inspiration as a standalone category, not merely a subcategory of memoir or self-help. Books by and for women — especially those centered on purpose, identity, or advocacy — are a named priority.
Broadly sought across personal development. Given the adjacent wellness and faith categories, titles with a spiritual or values-based framework may land especially well, though secular self-help is not excluded.
Listed without additional detail, suggesting it is welcome but not a top priority. Books on relationships that intersect with faith, wellness, or women's experience would align most naturally with the rest of Myles's list.
Narrative nonfiction with strong literary craft is on the list. Given the overall emphasis on lived experience and identity, creative nonfiction that sits at the intersection of personal story and cultural commentary is a reasonable bet.
Myles's academic scope is notably specific: essays, case studies, monographs, digital media/journalism, strategic media, and AI. This is not a general academic call — it maps closely to their communications and media expertise. Writers in media studies, strategic communication, or AI policy may find a well-informed reader here.
Fiction centered on real historical or public figures. This is a narrow sub-genre, and Myles's interest in biography on the nonfiction side makes it feel like a natural extension rather than a broad fiction call.
Sought, but without elaboration. Given the overall list orientation toward diverse, purpose-driven stories, historical fiction featuring underrepresented histories or BIPOC protagonists is likely to connect most strongly.
An unusual and specific fiction category. Myles wants fiction where place is central — destination-driven narratives rather than stories that merely happen to be set somewhere. Think journeys, exploration, or a location that shapes the entire arc.
Myles seeks picture books that engage with social topics — not all picture books, and the wishlist does not indicate they are open to picture books from non-illustrating authors. Writers without illustration or a committed illustrator partner should clarify submission guidelines before querying in this category. The social-topics frame suggests books that help children navigate identity, community, or real-world challenges.

How to query Mytecia
Send your query to mytecia.myles@emboldenmediagroup.com or follow the submission guidelines posted at the agency website — check both routes, as the guidelines may specify a preferred format.
If you are querying memoir, make your BIPOC identity explicit early in your query letter — this is a hard requirement Myles states, not a preference, and burying it wastes everyone's time.
Myles's background is in PR, communications, and media management. If you have a platform — a podcast, a brand, a professional following, a media presence — lead with it. This agent will know how to evaluate and use it.
For faith-based and Christian lifestyle titles, be specific about your theological tradition and audience. Myles lists a wide spectrum (intercession, spiritual gifts, mindfulness, meditation) — show where your book sits within that landscape.
For picture books with social topics, confirm in your submission guidelines check whether Myles accepts manuscripts from authors who are not also illustrators. Do not assume — the wishlist does not resolve this gate.
Because Myles is a new agent, they may be especially receptive to debut authors or writers without prior publishing credentials. Lead with the strength of the book and concept, not a lack of publishing history.
For academic nonfiction, align your pitch to Myles's stated focus areas — digital media, journalism, strategic communications, and AI — rather than treating this as a general academic fiction category.
Keep your query concise and purposeful. Myles emphasizes authenticity and boldness; a query that is honest about what the book is and who it is for will likely read better than a heavily formulaic pitch.
