I’m interested in science fiction, fantasy, magic realism and historical fiction – I like books set anywhere except the here-and-now! I’m particularly passionate about increasing diversity in SFF, and am actively seeking writing from marginalised perspectives. I prefer adult fiction, but I do also represent some YA/crossover. Sense of place is very important to me … Continue reading →

In particular, I’d love high concept literary middle grade works like When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead and Wonder by RJ Palacio. I love all things YA but I’m especially looking for an epic love story (like a story which could be the “new” … Continue reading →

Sarah LaPolla, Bradford Literary Agency

​​I love books that are character-focused ​, but still have strong narrative arcs and plot development. Whether it’s adult or YA – give me your damaged, your lost, your strong-willed, and your resilient! Passive and/or two-dimensional characters need not apply. I want ​characters in control of their own story, even if they aren’t in control … Continue reading →

I’m also acquiring for humor, diet/nutrition, photography collections, pets, body/mind/spirit, and travel. At Skyhorse, we have a lot of interest and diverse lists, and I’d … Continue reading →
