ABOUT ME
I am a literary agent and audio rights director at LDLA, who is known for doling out pretty great advice, being an organizational queen, and possessing a wacky sense of humor. 😂 I'm a big genre fiction lover and mostly represent commercial fiction, romance, MG, YA, historical fiction, mysteries/thrillers, and nonfiction.
​
I have been passionate about books for as long as I can remember, but I first became interested in agenting after a friend encouraged me to apply for a summer internship at Writers House over our sophomore break. I commuted back and forth from my home in Connecticut three days a week and knew that this was what I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing...minus the hour-and-a-half train ride.
​
Now I live in Sunnyside, Queens, and when not immersed in a good book, love shopping at the city's green markets, exploring new neighborhoods, designing gloriously color-coded spreadsheets, tackling DIY apartment decorating, and snuggling with my cats.
Follow me on Twitter and pay a visit to my old blog to learn more about my life pre-2019. You can also check out my Publishers Marketplace page.
LDLA SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Please use QueryManager to send a submission to me. You can read more about my specific interests there, as well.
​
Your query letter should include:
​
• your name
• your email
• a short pitch
• and a short plot summary
​
Also note previous submission or publishing history, if applicable. If you are a debut author, do not worry.
​
After your query letter, paste the first chapter of your novel (about 10 pages or the entire proposal if nonfiction) into the body of the email. I will not respond to queries emailed directly to me and I don't open unrequested attachments.
​
My (Average) Submission Timeline
Once I receive your query, if I am going to request pages, I usually do so by the 2 month mark. When I receive a partial, it goes to my TBR pile and I try to respond with feedback in about 3-6 months.
