- Looking for
- Confident, immersive, ambitious, narrative-driven writing across fiction and non-fiction. In fiction, she is drawn to epic love stories, novels capturing specific moments in recent history, and tightly plotted narratives that use form to explore the extremes of human psychology and society. She loves love stories in particular — ones that balance emotional depth with humour. In non-fiction, she is seeking subject experts, journalists and memoirists who can write long-form literature, including captivating music writing and ground-shifting investigative journalism.

For non-fiction, include a cover letter with pitch in the body of the email, and attach a proposal and sample writing. Submit to one Greyhound agent only. Do not send links to cloud storage services.
