Newbery Honor and NYT bestseller (Penguin/Walden)

Writers House, coming up on 30 years, is one of the largest agencies in the industry. As a company, we represent a wide range of adult and children's fiction and non-fiction.
I've been with Writers House for over six years, and I'm always on the lookout for distinct fiction and great, lively non-fiction. I represent adult and children's books (and for children's books, I focus mainly on middle grade and YA). For fiction, I love stories that introduce me to new worlds -- or even better, recreate the ones I may already know. For non-fiction, I enjoy memoirs, narrative non-fiction, all stripes and studies of pop-culture, and even small gifty books that strike my fancy and make me smile. I'm a huge fan of graphic novels and memoirs. I also especially love historical fiction of all kinds. And as the oldest child of six who has changed many, many diapers in his life, I'm equally intrigued by any book with unique views on parenting and family life.
If you think your pages can make me hold my breath or miss my subway stop or even laugh out loud, please read my submission guidelines -- I'd love to hear from you.
