Welcome to my Manuscript Wishlist!
Currently closed to queries
I am currently seeking to represent middle grade, young adult, new adult, and select adult projects. I am dedicated to increasing the marginalized space in Publishing and prioritize searching for new, underrepresented voices.
As an agent, I am drawn to protagonists with a distinct, narrative voice, plots that turn the page themselves, and unique structural setups.
I’m also a sucker for a good theme, and a few of my favorites include coming-of-age, good vs evil, fate vs free will, faith vs doubt, the consequence of choices, man vs. society, and identity.
I am NOT currently accepting picture books, graphic novels, historical fiction, or nonfiction.
*Please note that you can only query one BookEnds Literary Agent at a time*
Middle Grade
Action/Adventure
Contemporary
Fantasy
Speculative, Dystopian, & Apocalyptic
*Magical Realism (please do your research)
Mystery/Spooky
In middle grade, I’m looking for a main character or cast that I can fall in love with. I love stories that explore the dynamics of found family, friendships, new adventures, and overcoming self.
I’m particularly interested in:
Fast-paced adventures, heists, or a series of competitions.
Spooky! Give me all your ghost stories, haunted houses, and creepy settings. I’d love to see a cast of friends solve a mystery (MG Scooby Doo vibes).
Heart-warming, humorous, or gut-wrenching contemporaries.
Modern day fantasies where the natural and magical world collide.
Fresh spin on time travel!
Novel-in-verse
*I am not a good fit for stories where animals are the main character.
Young & New Adult
Contemporary
Fantasy
Speculative, Dystopian, & Apocalyptic
*Magical Realism (please do your research)
Mystery/Suspense
Thriller/Horror
In YA, I want to sink into the world and voice that the author has created and truly experience all the emotions as if I’d joined the cast - make me laugh, cry, or leave me speechless! In NA, the 18-25 years are often overlooked in Publishing, and I want to see more flawed protagonists, inevitable mistakes, and questionable choices.
I’m on the hunt for:
Unique structures: stories told in fragments, diary entries, letter, texts, novels-in-verse, or countdowns.
Speculative Fiction or Dystopian that teeters the line of reality/society, and plays with the idea of “what if?”.
RomComs where there is an equal balance between the plot and budding romance.
Gripping contemporaries that navigate identity, family, and friendships where there isn’t always a happy ending.
Mysteries, thrillers, and horror with either an unreliable narrator or protagonist I don’t agree with.
Fantasy, Paranormal, and Dark Academia stories where the main character, cast, and plot isn’t overshadowed by the world-building or supernatural elements.
Bonus if it’s a haunted musical instrument or has a Black Swan comp!
*I’m not a good fit for high SFF (space operas, etc.)
Adult
Literary Fiction
Fantasy
Speculative, Dystopian, & Apocalyptic
*Magical Realism (please do your research)
Psychological Thriller
Although most of my list is KidLit, I am aiming to expand the Adult side of my list.
I’m particularly on the lookout for:
Literary works with timely themes and complex characters that’s also accompanied by other sub- genres (i.e Invisible Man, The Vanishing Half, and Yellowface)
Psychological thrillers that blend the line of reality
Unreliable narrators
Fantasy and Speculative
Plots that have me question myself and/or society
I am not looking for:
Espionage/spy novels
Predictable detective novels
Space operas
Think we’re a good match?
