Donovan Levine

I primarily represent genre fiction, upmarket fiction, and non-fiction memoir.

As far as genre fiction goes, I am seeking crime thrillers, historical (narrative), mystery, coming-of-age, adventure, romance, and select SFF.

I am craving voice-driven characters and adventurous stories, with messaging and themes relevant to the times. And I am especially seeking underrepresented voices with powerful, lived experiences. Braids of mysticism and speculative elements are also appreciated. I am also particularly interested in family sagas, multi-generational stories, whose story element and essential conflict span multiple lifetimes.

For non-fiction, I am seeking memoirs with a particular focus on individualism, struggle, self-actualization, self-help, religion, inspiration, or personal identity.

Some favorite books of mine: A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini, Good Omens by Neil Gaiman, How it Feels to Float by Helena Fox, The Henna Artist by Alka Joshi, The Palace Thief by Ethan Canin, Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri, The Midnight Library by Matt Haig, The Life We Bury by Allen Eskens, A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway, Piranesi by Susanna Clarke, and Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl.
