“I gravitate towards stories about…identity, family relationships, and travel. I’m looking to uplift underrepresented voices in publishing. In children’s literature, I am currently looking for MG, YA & Graphic Novels. I also represent illustrators and comic artists. In adult fiction, I’m looking for contemporary romance, speculative, sci-fi, and book club fiction.
“Across all genres & age groups, I’m looking for:
- Stories about identity, specifically first-gen stories or immigrant experiences.
- Stories about self-love with coming-of-age themes. (I believe we are always coming of age, regardless of age!)
- Stories about family relationships, messy/dysfunctional families or found families.
- Stories about sibling relationships or cousin relationships, specifically navigating adult sibling relationships or cousin relationships with cultural differences. (i.e. first-gen themes)
- Stories about travel, where the book is set outside the U.S. or even traveling to the U.S. (Non-travel related books set outside the U.S. count!)
- Stories with messy characters who are trying their best.
- Stories with characters who are curious about therapy or where mental health is advocated for.
- Stories about badass women doing badass things.
- Stories about cultures that are rarely explored.”
