Writers House is a well-established agency with a broad client list of illustrious writers. I'm looking for good, transportive fiction. I'm drawn to stories with strong heroines.

I also like literary, YA, romance, memoir, self-help. narrative nonfiction, African-American, mind-body-spirit and stories focused on people at the edges of society. I am open to pretty much anything, and I promise a fast response time!

Some of my favorite writers include Emma Donoghue, Diana Wynne Jones, Jean Rhys, Thomas Wolfe, Haruki Murakami, Margaret Atwood, Adrien LeBlanc, John McPhee and Bill Bryson.
