Our Agents
Jennifer joined the Andrea Brown Literary Agency in 2016, after a career in marketing and public relations. Agenting is her dream job, and she is proud to represent NYTimes bestselling and award-winning authors, as well as talented debuts she believes will be stars someday. She loves working with writers and illustrators, and nothing gives her greater joy than to help an author elevate their story. She is most drawn to emotionally compelling voices and fresh perspectives underrepresented in literature.
Please send Jennifer:
YA novels in any genre (horror, thrillers, gothic, science fiction, humor, hints of magic in our world), but especially literary stories about ordinary teens dealing with life, family, relationships, sexuality, mental health, or recovery. A blend of genre and literary would be best of all-- and even better if she gets to fall in love (or lust).
Adult literary thrillers, horror and science fiction (she is a suspense junkie, who loves to be scared). Throw in dash of (bad) romance, and she’s hooked.
Stories that blurs the lines between the real and the imagined.
Beautiful writing at the line level that she can't help but stop to savor the craft.
Projects that comp to TV/film horrors: Yellowjackets, Companion, Barbarian, Watcher, Parasite, Late Night with the Devil, The Perfection, Nocturne, It Follows, Santa Sangre (I love Psycho retellings), Candy Land (2022), Saint Maud, and more.
I will read (or watch) any horror with the word "mother" in the title. I am fascinated with the horror of motherhood, as well as the horror of being mothered. (Ex. Leslie J. Anderson's The Unmothers.)
Please no picture books, MG, or YA second world fantasy at this time. Her list is currently very full.
Note: Sadly, Jennifer is not the best fit for novels-in-verse, as those forms are not her editorial strength. Please consider one of her wonderful colleagues instead.
That’s her wish list, but you might have something she has never considered before, and it might be absolutely perfect for her. Surprise her. She loves to read a good story and hopes to read yours!
