Tips From the Agent

I represent a wide range of fiction and nonfiction authors, and am especially drawn to bold, voice-driven work from historically underrepresented writers—stories that explore themes of identity in all its complexity, along with race, culture, gender, and sexuality. I gravitate towards books that confront and engage with gray areas, challenge assumptions, and leave readers thinking differently and more deeply about the world we live in.
