Bernadette Baker-Baughman is currently interested in representing ADULT FICTION & NONFICTION, YOUNG ADULT FICTION, MIDDLE GRADE FICTION,CHILDREN'S PICTURE BOOKS, and GRAPHIC NOVELS. In fiction she gravitates towards books with a wide audience access point—specifically books with cultural or contemporary touchstones. She also enjoys thrillers, re-imaginings, magical realism, love stories, historical fiction, fiction based on legend or myth, and fiction with fantastical elements. In nonfiction she is looking for image rich books, pop culture, art, quirky gift books, light sociology, and narrative nonfiction. In graphic novels she is seeking beautifully illustrated works of nonfiction, memoir, young adult or children’s fiction, high fantasy, funny character driven stories, and graphic literature.
