My Manuscript Wish List®
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.
