I represent books for kids, both fiction and nonfiction, from board books up through young adult. My tastes are fairly eclectic, from light and funny to dark and creepy, and especially stories that veer off the beaten path. Here’s a list of the kinds of things I’d love to find: PICTURE BOOKS: I created a … Continue reading →

For Non-fiction: I wish I had more non-fiction about emerging technologies and how to reckon the changes in technology with our humanity. I want non-fiction about understanding the human condition in light of medical discoveries. I want non-fiction that turns the tables on quackery, bias, and poor reasoning. I want a treatise on personal privacy, … Continue reading →

Monika Woods, Inkwell Management

I’m looking for literary and commercial fiction, and compelling non-fiction in food, popular culture, science, and current affairs.  Some of my dream projects include historical fiction about feminists, the Roma, and Maxim Lieber, darkly suspenseful stories (both true and made-up) with unreliable narrators, anything about Poland and its history, nonfiction that is creatively critical, and … Continue reading →

I’m officially open to all genres–I know how that sounds, and yes, I know, YIKES, I’ll be getting a lot of mail–but I’m particularly interested right now in the following: Whatever the age group, I tend to love contrast–highbrow sentences and lowbrow content, beautiful settings and ugly motives–the books that are beautiful and scary, heartbreaking … Continue reading →

John Silbersack, Trident Media Group

What do you wish you had in your inbox?: I’m eager for all kinds of thrillers and suspense novels, but especially science-based (a la Michael Crichton) and military, and I’d like to see a thriller featuring a female hacker. I’m also interested in repping a gritty procedural series, like those by Peter Robinson or Michael … Continue reading →

Hannah Bowman, Liza Dawson Associates

I’m always looking for great projects in the genres I represent: primarily science fiction, fantasy, and young adult, with a few select projects in other genres of commercial fiction and nonfiction.

Annie Bomke, Annie Bomke Literary Agency

My absolute favorite genre is psychological thrillers/mysteries.  I love character-rich literary fiction.  I also love historical fiction and fiction set in foreign lands.  If you combine all of those elements and send me a psychological, historical, literary mystery set in a foreign land, I’d be thrilled.  I like books with multicultural and LGBT characters.  I … Continue reading →
