Balzer+Bray and Walker Books UK, Spring 2023
|
I joined the Bent Agency in 2012. I lead TBA's London office and I work with authors and publishers in the US, the UK, Canada, and Australia, selling directly into all four markets. I also co-represent select projects in the US and the UK.
I represent authors whose books have been New York Times and Sunday Times bestsellers and have won and been shortlisted for the William C. Morris YA Debut Award, the Michael L. Printz Award, the Costa Children's Book Award, the Waterstones Children's Book Prize, the Carnegie Medal, the Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis, and more.
I'm looking for middle-grade and young adult fiction that's inventive, well-crafted, and rich with emotion. I'm also interested in compelling narrative non-fiction for readers ages 8-18. I like wit, but not snark; I prefer books that lean more toward literary than commercial, but of course, my perfect book neatly bridges the two.
Please do not send me picture books or books for adults.
Please do not send me illustration samples. I don’t represent illustrators who don’t write their own texts.
I read and respond to all submissions myself.
