Morgan Wu

I joined Little, Brown in 2022, after spending several years working in the clinical psychology and nonprofit spaces. Prior to working at Little, Brown, I was an editorial intern at Grove/Atlantic.

I work with fiction and nonfiction, though I am mostly looking for fiction at the moment. As a side effect of my prior work, I’m especially drawn to books with rich psychological exploration or unconventional, complex interpersonal relationships. I also love projects that explore queerness, motherhood and daughterhood, and POC stories.

My fiction taste falls into two camps:

1. darker or speculative works with a literary bent and works of literary horror, such as The Cloisters by Katy Hays, Bunny by Mona Awad, A Certain Hunger by Chelsea G. Summers, and Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield; and
2. accessible literary fiction such as The Rachel Incident by Caroline O’Donoghue, Vladimir by Julia May Jonas, The Idiot by Elif Batuman, and Writers & Lovers by Lily King.

I am not acquiring commercial thriller, commercial horror, or high fantasy.

I am also looking for narrative nonfiction a la What My Bones Know by Stephanie Foo and Why Fish Don’t Exist by Lulu Miller.
