PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM PRESENTLY CLOSED TO QUERIES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN SOLICITED OR REFERRED UNTIL 2021.

Writers House is a full service literary agency representing books of all types and genres for readers of all age groups.

I’ve been with the agency since 2013 and represent fiction and (more selectively) nonfiction children’s books, from young picture books through middle grade and young adult, and all the hybrids in between. I love flawed characters, mystery, family dynamics, underdogs, regular dogs, and unexpected settings, but voice is almost everything.

I accept queries and submissions via email only. Please include a query letter and the first ten pages of your novel (or other longer format) or full text of your picture book (under 2,000 words) in the body of the email. For author-illustrators, illustrators, or graphic novelists, I prefer links to a dummy or portfolio or attached PDF less than 3MB in size. No Google drive or docs, please.

I aim to respond as quickly as possible--please follow up if you have not heard from me within six weeks.

I look forward to hearing from you!
