Michelle Witte, Mansion Street Literary Management

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 →

Evan Gregory, The Ethan Ellenberg Literary Agency

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 →

Whitley Abell, Inklings Literary Agency

I am building my list of YA, MG, and Adult fiction. Regardless of market or genre, I’m looking for books with a great hook or a fascinating world, a strong but *real* protagonist, a story I can sink my teeth into, and, most importantly, a voice I would follow to the end of the world … Continue reading →

I really want a non-space/non-alien science fiction YA. Think I, Robot for kids. It doesn’t need to be robots, but something in which the technology is … Continue reading →

Other middle grade books I’m looking for include: stories that blur the line between fantasy and reality (like the Spiderwick Chronicles, the Wildwood trilogy, … Continue reading →

Laura Zats, Red Sofa Literary

Across all of my genres, I am looking specifically for diversity (of all kinds), feminism, and geekery. I am especially interested in well-drawn and strong female characters, retellings, and interesting story-telling techniques (epistolary, unreliable narrators, lists, emails, texts, etc.) In middle grade, I gravitate towards smart, adventure-type books (especially with STEM) that will appeal to … Continue reading →
