![]() ![]() As for MG and Chapter Books, I look for contemporary stories that have a classic, evergreen feel to them. I will always get excited about strong sense of voice and writing that packs an emotional punch but I also enjoy lighter fare with strong romance. I love quirky, humorous writing in contemporary YA, and am always looking for something with a strong hook. In the YA category, my interests are broad: I like contemporary, fantasy, sci-fi, historical, magical realism, thrillers, and issue books. ![]() After a brief stint in magazine editorial, I have been working in NY book publishing for over a decade. I am humbled to play a part ushering innovative projects into the world. The constant exposure to a wide variety of topics is thrilling. As a literary agent and the Director of International Rights at Folio, I enjoy working on a great variety of projects – everything from YA and MG novels to adult books on cooking, business, self-help, health/wellness, and more.
