I have an intimate list of clients and am actively seeking to sign more quality writers and illustrators. I am interested in all genres of YA but am especially interested in a story set within another culture (think YA version of MEMOIR OF A GEISHA or BLOOD DIAMOND). A beautiful historical with a strong, commercial twist would also be amazing.
I'm looking to grow my non-fiction list and am interested in anything with a technology, pop-culture, entertainment or women's issues angle. Something different from what's already out there -- topics better suited for magazine articles (i.e. "how to find the perfect guy" or "100 ways to be an awesome teen") aren't for me. You must have a strong platform or be considered an expert in your field.
On the adult side, I'm seeking only romance titles with protagonists who appeal to younger women.
I am not interested in picture books, chapter books, younger middle grade stories or adult titles (other than romance, as indicated above).
*Note that these are just items I'm really hoping cross my desk. I have a variety of tastes, so if you're unsure if it's something for me, feel free to query me anyway once I open back up to submissions.
1) Please note: the link on your page at the agency does not work. Apparently, one has to include the "www".
2) How does one discern whether a protagonist is likely to appeal to young women? It is not clear to me that the age of the reader necessarily determines what she will like.
OOOOPS!! I had read somewhere else that you were taking MGs. Here you mention you don´t want younger middle grade. What age are we talking about here? please elaborate.
Hi:
I read somewhere that you were talking middle grade novels, but here you mention you are not interested in younger middle grade? What exactly is "younger" middle grade? Could you explain this a bit more?
Thanks!
