Wishlist

I represent books for all ages. I love 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. Witty banter is almost always a must. I do not love murder, suicide, or sexual assault, so if your work is primarily described as “dark and gritty,” I’m not a good fit.

Some of my recent favorite books include: The Invisible Life of Addie Larue by V.E. Schwab, Foxheart by Claire Legrand, and Broken (In the Best Possible Way) by Jenny Lawson.
