P.S. Literary Agency

Have you ever read a book recommended to you by a celebrity (other than Oprah or Reese Witherspoon)?

"In YA, I would love a voice-y, meaningful coming of age story like DARIUS THE GREAT IS NOT OKAY by Adib Khorram or FIREKEEPER’S DAUGHTER by Angeline Boulley."

"Listen to your own voice, your own soul. Too many people listen to the noise of the world, instead of themselves." —Leon Brown

"Read a lot. Write a lot. Do that over and over again for the rest of your life." —Tahereh Mafi

What books releasing next year are you most looking forward to?

"I’m interested in love stories that may not fit the definition of romance, such as found family, platonic soulmates, and relationships without a happily ever after."

"There's no right way of writing. There's only your way." —Milton Lomask

"Looking for platform-driven nonfiction with unique hooks. (Platform meaning: social media/YouTube followers, TV appearances, email newsletter numbers, etc)."

If you had to pick a cozy read for a rainy day, what would it be?

"You have to relax, write what you write. It sounds easy but it's really, really hard. One of the things it took me longer to learn was to trust the writing process." —Diane Setterfield

What are your favorite middle grade or young adult nonfiction books?

"I'm seeking supernatural and psychological thrillers."

"It’s such a confidence trick, writing a novel. The main person you have to trick into confidence is yourself. This is hard to do alone." —Zadie Smith

"One of the hardest things of all is to start. Just sitting down and getting over your own intimidations." —Janis Ian

"I'm interested in upmarket thrillers that use an engaging thriller premise to explore personal/social issues – THE ECHO WIFE and WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING are two of my all-time favorites."

What's the last book you checked out of the library?

"The most healthy thing is to be true to your own self, but also, that you have a right to express what you see and what you feel and what you think. To be bold." —Alice Walker

"I would love atmospheric and speculative mysteries and thrillers that skew psychological and cerebral with unreliable narrators. Stories where the setting is the main character and characters have full and dynamic backstories!"
