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). I love stories that are … Continue reading →

Heather Powell Van Fleet, BookFish Books

At BookFish Books we accept NA, YA, and MG. As for me, specifically, I’m more on the hunt for YA and NA. I’m desperately seeking sports romances, especially football and hockey. I’m a sucker for best friend’s older brother tropes, along with the enemy to something more trope as well. I’m always looking for that … Continue reading →

Cassie Hanjian, Waxman Leavell

In fiction, I’m looking for addictive New Adult novels that will make me stay up until 1:00 am to finish them. I’m most interested in New Adult novels that push the envelope, develop uniquely flawed characters, and aren’t afraid to challenge the more narrow definitions of “New Adult.” I also love tear-jerking commercial women’s fiction … Continue reading →

Brent Taylor, TriadaUS

Middle grade: I’m probably most actively looking for something fairly light with a commercial voice, or a classic-feeling story. I love retellings, especially of familiar plotlines like THE PARENT TRAP, THE LITTLE PRINCESS, etc. Some MG books I’ve recently read and loved: THE WITCH’S BOY by Kelly Barnhill, RED BUTTERFLY by A.L. Sonnichsen, and A … 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 →

Caitie Flum, Liza Dawson Associates

I am interested in adult, NA, YA, and middle grade fiction and nonfiction For all ages: historical fiction in any era, especially if it is from the perspective we normally don’t hear from. Think the maid or valet instead of the princess and king. Contemporary romance or romantic suspense in all heat levels with smart … Continue reading →

Alycia Tornetta at Entangled

For Young Adult, I am looking for contemporary, sci-fi, and thrillers. I also love books that combine genres in a unique and clever way. I’d love to see more interesting settings and cultures. And I’m also looking for fun, romantic dual POV contemporary romances. Bad boys and cute nerdy guys are my favorite. For New … Continue reading →

Kaylee Davis, Dee Mura Literary

MG: I really gravitate to the more mature middle grade that is voice-driven and deals with bigger issues. I also like diverse, unique protagonists who take charge and push the story forward. YA: Especially in contemporary and scifi, I love anything where unlikely allies join forces or where reluctant heroes come into their own. I’m … Continue reading →
