In general, I represent young adult and adult fiction novels. I primarily represent romance and other genres that pair nicely with it. As I slowly delve into non-fiction, I would love to see more science-based books, especially biology and forensic, as well as medicine and cookbooks in my inbox. I’m also actively seeking diverse voices and stories across the board. Give me all those books! ***Only searching for all things romance such as: Rom coms – more than just the stereotypical boy meets girl. Give me something with a twist. I want depth but still cute and with great chemistry and banter. Dark romances with spicy scenes (always consensual with open- or closed-door scenes) Fantasy (no specifics on type as long as there’s a significant romance) Romances with flawed characters – love character growth and fine with Happy For Now as long as they’re working on bettering themselves to achieve that Happily Ever After Romantic thrillers Romantic mysteries with unreliable narrators- there’s nothing better than being sent down dozens of wrong rabbit holes Specific things I want

want to see
In paranormal fiction, I don’t currently want to see ghosts or genies. Witches are fine as long as there’s a unique take on them In fantasy, I am not looking for teen girl who unknowingly has powers and must save the world Stories that start with the character waking up from a dream or nightmare Stories that start with the character being followed by a person in a hooded cloak Stories that start with the setting or weather (ie: “It was the winter of …” or “It was a beautiful fall day…”)
Fun facts about me
I used to give sponge baths to dead bodies. It was my side job while I was in grad school. And what’s worse, it didn’t bother me at all. Even when some of them grew mold on them. I did always have this fear that one of the bodies would suddenly wake up and try to attack me. Thankfully, they never did… Submission Guidelines Submissions should be emailed to ***Please check my Instagram page or Confluence Literary Agency for when I reopen to queries.*** I don’t take email submissions.
