What Emily is looking for
In children’s books, Emily is most interested in high-concept plots that meet high-concept thought, darker speculative work, adventure stories, and stories with a play pattern. In the adult space, Emily is looking for book club and upmarket fiction, romantic and steamy fantasy romances, fun rom-coms, and layered adult fantasies. She also wants books set in college, with characters in their early to late 20s, at the messy stage of adulthood where not everything fits and there are too many forks in the road.
