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”), Fantasy (high-fantasy, vast world-building, romantasy), Sci-Fi (space operas, space westerns), Westerns (with a twist), Fairy Tales/Folk Tales, and 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.

Examples:

Assistant to the Villain, The Hating Game, The Paradise Problem, Bride, The Other Boleyn Girl, What the River Knows, Deadly Education, Fourth Wing, Legends and Lattes, Six of Crows, A Sorceress Comes to Call, The Familiar, Rendezvous with Rama, A Memory Called Empire, The Bullet Swallower, Thistlefoot, How to Be Eaten, Spinning Silver

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
