I’m excited to announce that I’ve joined The Purcell Agency as an Associate Literary Agent. As a voracious reader and theatre major, who will still occasionally perform, I love to write. My published works include a picture book published by Dial Books for Young Readers, 25 nonfiction, educational books for children, published by Powerkids Press, a self-published sci-fi novel, and the lyrics for the title track on Owen Duggen’s children’s CD, Puppy Dog Jig. Finally—drum roll please—I recently finished writing my first young adult epic fantasy. More on that later.As a writer, I know how difficult it is to get your manuscript in front of the right editor’s eyes. So, as an Associate Literary Agent, I look forward to helping you do just that. Find the right editor, with the right publishing house, and get your masterpiece out in the world for all to read.What am I looking for in submissions? Adult and Young Adult Science Fiction and Fantasy books that are full of adventure, thought provoking, and character driven. For more details, and a list of some of my favorite books and genres, visit https://ThePurcellAgency.com and go to my Bio page.
