Paula (they/them) joined the ASH Literary team in 2023 as an agent after a career in literary scouting and educational publishing. Based in New York and with a background in foreign rights, they bring an international approach to selling their clients’ work. Their goal is to help as many children as possible to see their experiences represented on the page for the first time.
Paula is looking for:
“I'm very drawn to distinct and engaging narrative voice. I represent a wide variety of genres and categories, but I'm always looking for stories I haven't seen told before, as well as writing that grabs me on the sentence level. I'm particularly eager to work with marginalized creators who are typically underrepresented within the traditional publishing industry.”
Books they currently represent:
Evie and Maryam’s Family Tree by Janeen Hayat
“Most of the books I’ve sold haven’t been announced yet, but these are some titles I’d have loved to work on: So Let Them Burn by Kamilah Cole; The Infinity Particle by Wendy Xu.”
