I acquire both fiction and non-fiction. I’m specifically looking for page-turning and plot-driven literary fiction, commercial fiction, upmarket fiction, mature Young Adult, New Adult that is not formulaic, memoir, graphic novels, narrative non-fiction, and commercial non-fiction (in the areas of current affairs, medicine, entrepreneurship, history, pop-culture, psychology, and social justice).

Anne Sowards, Ace/Roc/NAL
