Julie Flanagan

I’m primarily looking for literary and upmarket fiction and am interested in explorations of gender, queer fiction, coming of age stories, campus novels, family sagas, domestic fiction in the vein of Tessa Hadley and Alice Munro, emotionally and intellectually adventurous work, examinations of privilege, voice-driven (especially funny) fiction, and stories that take readers into rarified or esoteric worlds. I’m also looking for grounded speculative fiction, smart and plotty upmarket fiction with a point to make (in the vein of Liz Moore), and translated fiction.

Examples: any Ben Lerner, Kazuo Ishiguro, Rejection, Boy Parts, Big Swiss, The Girls, Exciting Times, The Line of Beauty, Milk Fed, Prep, The New Me, Almost Famous Women, Either/Or, Vladimir, How Should a Person Be?, Drinking Coffee Elsewhere, The Privileges, All Fours, The Bee Sting, Bright Young Women, Mrs. S, Biography of X, In Memoriam

Nonfiction: Cultural criticism

Authors I work with include: Sean Thor Conroe, Tao Lin, Madison Newbound, Nash Jenkins, Zoe Dubno, Nico Walker
