What I'm Looking For
In both fiction and nonfiction, I look for work that alters my understanding of the world, whether through immersive cultural deep-dives or a singular, inventive voice. I primarily represent upmarket and literary fiction and narrative nonfiction, and I gravitate toward exceptional prose and projects that offer an enduring shift in perspective.
