Genres I Represent

Fiction
In addition to the following genres, check out my Hot List at the bottom of the page. Also see my blog for a more specific wish list.
​
  • Romance (including historical romance)
  • Literary Fiction (must have a plot/storyline)
  • Historical Fiction
  • Thrillers
  • Mysteries
  • Suspense
  • Cozy Mysteries
  • Science Fiction
  • Dystopian
  • Space Opera
  • Military Sci/Fi
  • Fantasy (For example: THE FIFTH SEASON, GAME OF THRONES, THE NIGHT CIRCUS)
  • Horror
  • Western (especially if blended with another genre like science fiction, horror, etc.)
 
Nonfiction
  • Cookbooks
  • Natural remedies, naturopathy, health, natural healing
  • Books about survival (specifically: Narrative nonfiction about survival in the wilderness, in addition to "how to" books on survival in the wilderness (think the show Alone, Naked and Afraid, and so on).
  • Gardening
  • Nature/ecology
  • How To books
  • Science or technology
 
In all genres, I’m looking for fresh and extraordinary stories with unique hooks, strong writing, and voices that won’t let me stop reading until the dead of night.

For fiction, if you have something you consider strange or weird (but it still has immersive worldbuilding, a sweeping plot, and a gut-wrenching character arc), I am especially interested!

What I Don't Represent:
  • Children’s books (PB, chapter books, MG, and YA)
  • ​Books focused on religion/spirituality
  • Erotica
  • Poetry, short stories, screenplays, or novellas
  • Memoirs
