Some categories have become tougher to sell - memoir, YA fantasy, science fiction (both adult and YA), domestic thrillers - so the bar is set even higher since I already have good writers in those areas. But I'm always looking for commercial fiction, literary fiction, narrative nonfiction, graphic novels and graphic nonfiction (but *not* children's picture books), and new work from previously under-represented voices.

Here's an ugly sentence: the number of submissions makes it impossible for detailed responses, so it's likely you'll only hear back if there's interest, usually within 8 weeks. If you receive another offer of representation, feel free to follow up.

Here's a do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do tip: a cover letter with a personal touch explaining why we'd be a good match is more likely to get me into your manuscript.
