My Manuscript Wish List®

Emelie joined Susan Schulman in 2021 after fourteen years of working as an independent bookseller. She represents books for all ages. She loves stories with hope and humor with an edge (Edward Gorrey, David Sedaris, Jenny Lawson), strong female leads, LGBT+ and/or BIPOC Joy, and magic of all sorts. She does not love stories centered around murder, suicide, or sexual assault. Some of her recent favorite books include When Women Were Dragons by Kelly Barnhill, Foxheart by Claire Legrand, and Cunning Folk by Tabitha Stanmore.

Fun facts about me:

  • I’m currently playing in at least two different D&D campaigns.
  • I have two huskies who I love beyond any reasonable measure.
  • I’ve lived in three different states and two different countries. And counting!
  • I’m an avid knitter, yarn spinner, and gardener, stitching my homestead together one skein at a time.
