Rae Loverde is an agent assistant at Donald Maass Literary Agency.

At the 2024 SWW, she will be acting as a literary scout — taking pitches at the workshop on behalf of one or multiple co-agents at her agency.

On behalf of co-agent Kiana Nguyen, Rae is taking pitches for horror and thriller — for both adults and young adults.

Her co-agent Cameron McClure is seeking the following:

• projects that combine genre style plotting with literary quality writing
• anything speculative
• science-fiction and fantasy
• mystery and suspense
• horror
• projects with multi-cultural, international, environmental, and LGBTQIA+ themes.
• Some of Cameron’s clients include Robert McCammon, Robert Jackson Bennett, Ada Palmer, Micaiah Johnson, Jonathan French, S.B. Divya, Molly Tanzer, Andy Marino, Ruthanna Emrys, and Amy Alkon.

She is interested in adult genre fiction and also considers select young adult — no MG. And she is not interested in adult literary fiction, mainstream fiction, women’s fiction, or chick lit.
