Suzie Townsend is a literary agent at New Leaf Literary & Media Inc. She represents all brands of adult and children's fiction. She's specifically looking for women's fiction, romance (all subgenres), and crime fiction (mysteries, thrillers). She also loves literary voice-driven Middle Grade and YA that she hasn't seen before. Suzie loves strong characters, unique and diverse voices, and stories that break out of the typical tropes of their genres.

“Ryan’s third Montana Men contemporary romance has a seamless plot and two sterling protagonists. The spirited dialogue, charming characters, and engaging story will keep readers intrigued from beginning to end.” --Publishers Weekly, starred review on Her Lucky Cowboy by Jennifer Ryan

''Carmack's second in her Rusk University series is a hit. Lifelike characters make the story feel real, making it tough for readers to put this one down. A perfect story for any romantic, the exquisitely put together ALL BROKE DOWN features an amazing, brave heroine and a dashing hero. You'll get chills as you read well into the night.'' --RT Reviews (4 1/2 stars) on All Broke Down by Cora Carmack

"A SNICKER OF MAGIC covers wholesome, warm-fuzzy territory in a quirky, cheerful way. It should be read aloud for maximum enjoyment, with a pen handy to jot down new words…Young spelling enthusiasts, Scrabble lovers, Boggle big leaguers and word people of the world – hang on for the ride! Felicity Pickle will take you places, and that, fellow logophiles, is spindiddly, indeed.” --The New York Times on A Snicker of Magic by Natalie Lloyd

"A sizzling, imaginative thriller, where romance and revolution collide, where power and justice duel. It’s exhilarating. Compelling. Action-packed. Unputdownable." --USA Today on Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

"An unsettling story of loss, lies, and violence lurking in the shadows of a small town." --Kirkus, starred review for The Darkest Corners by Kara Thomas
