What Juliet is looking for
Juliet represents intriguing, clever, conversation-starting writers across fiction and nonfiction — mostly contemporary stories led by themes of love, identity, and coming-of-age. She's drawn to rich, multi-layered stories of women, families, friendships, and relationships, and loves small communities with lots going on beneath the surface. She prefers the small and intimate to the epic and world-affecting.
