In terms of Children’s books I represent Picture Books, Chapter Books, Middle Grade and Young Adult.

I have a love for history, … 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 →

Sara Megibow, KT Literary Agency

I am actively acquiring and looking for books that consume me; stories I can’t stop reading and heroines/heroes to cheer for. My list of genres is very specific but within that list there are no boundaries: I’m looking for debut authors with a complete, never previously-published manuscript in middle grade, young adult, romance, erotica, science fiction or fantasy. Doesn’t matter … Continue reading →

Amy Sherwood, Samhain Publishing

I edit romance for Samhain Publishing and would LOVE to see more LGBTQ+ NA in my inbox. Historicals set in unusual places and time periods would also make me swoon—both hetero and LGBTQ+ very welcome on this one. Continue reading →

Nessa Warin, Harmony Ink Press

I’m looking for young adult fiction featuring main characters who identify as LGBTQ+.  We are looking for all genres as long as it fits those guidelines. The main character should be 14-18 years old (or their race’s equivalent for fantasy/sci-fi/paranormal) for the majority of the story. Romance is welcome, but not a requirement. (And I’d … Continue reading →

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 →

Dawn Frederick, Red Sofa Literary

I’d like a some craft books that pop culture themed – think Joss Whedon, OITNB, Boardwalk Empire.  Odd, offbeat, fun. I’d like a CYOA Graphic Novel (4 yrs in a row of asking for this) I’d like more extreme sports YA novels for both genders. More GLBT novels, with diversity, but also a little more … Continue reading →
