Emily Sacks

I am a literary assistant at Creative Artists Agency building my own list. I am looking for young adult, new adult, fiction, and select nonfiction.

Fiction:

Romance (contemporary, historical, paranormal, romantasy, “booktok”):

THE PARADISE PROBLEM, THE HATING GAME, BRIDE, THE KNIGHT AND THE MOTH

Fantasy (high-fantasy, vast world-building, romantasy):

DEADLY EDUCATION, FOURTH WING, THE EMPRESS OF SALT AND FORTUNE, THE FAMILIAR, THRONE OF GLASS

Sci-Fi (space operas, space westerns):

A MEMORY CALLED EMPIRE, RENDEZVOUS WITH RAMA, THE TUSKS OF EXTINCTION, ROSE/HOUSE

Westerns (with a twist):

THE COUNTRY UNDER HEAVEN, THE BULLET SWALLOWER

Fairy Tales/Folk Tales:

THISTLEFOOT, HOW TO BE EATEN, SPINNING SILVER, THE NIGHT ENDS WITH FIRE, THE FOX WIFE

Horror:

THE UNWORTHY, THE STARVING SAINTS

Select Short Story Collections

I would love to see books that tell under-represented stories. Historical fiction should feel well-researched and authentic, while any fantasy must have a strong foundation for its world building and setting. I am open to anything that can be comped to the works of Silvia Moreno-Garcia.

Nonfiction: History (an emphasis on taking an event or singular topic and expanding on it)

Examples:

Cleopatra’s Daughter, In Search of Amrit Kaur, The Curse of the Marquis de Sade
