What I'm looking for:

I'm looking to represent a broad range of projects. In particular, I've been reading upscale commercial fiction and nonfiction books that tell a unique story or ones in which the author has a huge platform. I seem to be especially drawn to a story if it has a high concept and a fresh, unique voice.

Fiction: All commercial fiction and Upscale (think book club) fiction, as well as women's fiction, romance (all types), mystery, thrillers, and psychological suspense. I enjoy both historical fiction as well as contemporary fiction, so do keep that in mind.

Nonfiction: I'm looking for both narrative nonfiction and prescriptive nonfiction. I'm looking for books where the author has a huge platform and something new to say in a particular area. Some of the areas that I like are lifestyle, relationship, parenting, business (!), popular/trendy reference projects and women's issues. I’d like books that would be a good fit on the Today show.

What I'm not looking for:

Fiction: children's, science fiction, fantasy

Nonfiction: academic nonfiction
