Lauren represents adult speculative fiction and romance. She is particularly seeking books in the genre/lit crossover space.
She is always interested in:
genre mashups, unusual structures, and hybrid forms
queer, abolitionist, and anticolonialist sensibilities
translation, transformation, and culture shock
non-human intelligence
plots driven by discovery, invention, arguments, and/or gossip
cozy stories of connection and growth, whether romantic or otherwise
gothic, surreal, fabulist, and weird horror elements
magic with no rules
werewolves
weird nature
sentient houses
She is a hard sell for fiction about cops, soldiers, assassins, dead or abused children, and crumbling marriages.
Her favorite authors include Karin Tidbeck, Helen Oyeyemi, Alexis Hall, Isaac Fellman, and Courtney Milan.
