WHAT WILL I DO FOR YOU?

First and foremost, I am here to secure you a deal with a publisher that fits you. This will be our most critical step, and one that calls for somebody who can "speak their language" to get you the best deal possible.With that said, what happens before and after the book deal is in many ways where the real value of our partnership is delivered.I am an editorial agent, keen to workshop your plot, characters, and other structural elements to ensure your manuscript is in the best shape it can be before submitting to publishers.Once your manuscript is in the hands of editors, I will act as the intermediary between you and the publisher—fighting to retain the vision you have for your story, and ensuring your creativity is freed from the burdens of the business side of publishing.Furthermore, I correspond with the right people within the industry to secure you promotional opportunities, and ensure that further opportunities await you as you continue your journey as an emerging author.

WHO I AM LOOKING FOR

WHAT DO I REPRESENT?

I am looking for diverse stories seeking to challenge the status quo. I am a strong believer in the power of fiction in driving meaningful change.I am most interested in Own Voices stories that speak to the truth of an author's marginalised experience. Self-originated representation is the backbone of diverse fiction, and I consider it a privilege to have the opportunity to amplify such stories.I am open to queries about science-fiction, fantasy, and literary fiction, and am well-versed in the contemporary landscape of these genres.
