I joined Janklow & Nesbit in 2022 and am building a list of literary and upmarket fiction and select narrative nonfiction. I'm especially on the hunt for compelling literary thrillers in the vein of Liz Moore or Tana French. I love a domestic suspense and am drawn to smart, complicated characters and twisty plots that keep me turning pages. My clients' work has received significant recognition, including the Carole Shields Prize for Fiction, the International Booker award, and the CWA Dagger for crime fiction in translation. In addition to developing my own list, I support J&N Partner PJ Mark, managing audio rights, excerpt placements, and short story submissions for his award-winning and critically acclaimed clients. Prior to J&N, I held roles at the Jean V. Naggar Agency, Writers House, and the Hunter College Elementary School Library. I hold a degree in English Literature and classical piano from Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon.
I am not looking for memoir, fantasy, romance (though I love a literary novel with speculative elements, and likewise when there is a romance tied into the plot of an upmarket or literary novel.
Examples of books she currently represents:
Hellions by Julia Elliott, The Obsessed by Lizzie Buehler, Black Star Line by William Lohier (forthcoming), More Abundantly by Kayla Murphy (forthcoming)
Madeline is looking for:
Upmarket/bookclub fiction, twisty thrillers/mysteries, crime, page-turning plot, complex characters that you want to root for, dynamic relationships, great sentence-level writing,
Madeline is not looking for:
I am not looking for YA, high fantasy, or romance (though I love a literary novel with speculative elements, and likewise when there is a romance tied into the plot of an upmarket or literary novel.)
