- Novels that center underrepresented or marginalized voices

- Atmospheric novels with a strong sense of place

- Imaginative re-tellings of classics, fairy tales, or myths

- Thematically unified short story collections

In nonfiction, Erin is looking for:

- “Big idea” books

- Memoirs that transcend the author’s personal experience to shed light on larger themes or societal concerns

- Essay collections

*** She especially enjoys working with journalists; academics interested in writing for a trade readership; and thought leaders.

Erin is also selectively seeking Young Adult titles. In Young Adult she gravitates toward:

narratives in the following categories:
