Women’s Fiction Historical: Commercial historical fiction about or based on figures who have been lost or swept from the history books. Stories with sweeping stories from American, African, or Caribbean history. Must have strong appeal for US audiences.

Examples- Crazy, Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan, Match Making for Beginners by Maddie Dawson, The Wedding Date by Jasmine Jasmine Guillory and The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang. Paranormal/Fantasy with larger, sweeping storylines and a strong romance at the center. Must have strong commercial appeal. Examples-A Darker Shade of Magic by V. E. Schwab, Song of Blood and Stone by L. Penelope and Tiger's Daughter by K. Aresenault Rivera. Romance-historical (Regency, Victorian, Scottish) and contemporary. Non-fiction: Commercial histories about figures who have been lost or swept from the history books. Stories with sweeping storylines. Must have strong appeal for US audience. Examples: Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot.

I am looking to represent most kinds of fiction from very commercial to literary and everything in between including thrillers/suspense and historical fiction.  I'm more averse to representing YA, science fiction and fantasy only because I'm not as familiar with these genres.  It all comes down to my need to fall in love with the story and the writing.
