What Allison is looking for
Allison also represents a small, selective list of domestic clients split evenly between fiction and nonfiction. Within the realms of literary and upmarket fiction, she is drawn to messy family stories, outsider perspectives, and narratives that take you somewhere unexpected, whether psychologically, geographically, or historically. She likes writing that is sharp yet imaginative on the line level but wants to be moved, emotionally, by the larger story. She’s also drawn to a strong sense of place. At the moment, she’d particularly love a gothic novel set somewhere fresh, or a complex novel about friendship. Authors she deeply admires include: Jesmyn Ward, Louise Erdrich, Katie Kitamura, Jame
