My Manuscript Wish List®
Danielle Bukowski has been at SLL since 2014.
She represents critically acclaimed, award-winning fiction and nonfiction. She is particularly looking for narratives from writers traditionally excluded from the publishing industry. For fiction, she likes books that balance plot with voice, have a strong sense of place, a unique hook, and are stylistically bold; for nonfiction, she’s looking for work grounded in the author’s personal interest, rigorously reported and researched, and will expand the reader’s view of the world (in 2024 she is very selective on taking on new NF). She loves books that blend genres and enjoys horror but is more selective on standard SFF.
Her personal website is kept more updated and includes a submission portal: https://daniellebukowski.com/
If you like the books she’s worked on before, she’d probably like to consider yours on submission.
Danielle is not the right agent for stories centered on sexual assault or disordered eating. She does not represent true crime, romance, or children’s books outside of select YA.
