What Zoe is looking for
Zoe's list spans children's and adult books, leaning toward commercial, entertaining, accessible stories with clever hooks and something to say about the world. Her adult list focuses on fantasy and science fiction with strong commercial appeal, and she's a big fan of horror — especially socially conscious horror in the vein of Get Out. She is particularly interested in submissions from writers from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds.
