What Beth is looking for

Beth represents authors of the kinds of books that drove her to love reading in the first place: middle grade and young adult fiction and nonfiction. She gravitates toward stories and characters that inspire, and anything with a touch of humor and the bittersweet. She is very interested in powerful and unique storytelling, offbeat contemporary fiction, immersive fantasy, and profoundly resonant voices.
