Rach Crawford
Wolf Literary
My Manuscript Wish List®
Rach represents literary fiction and narrative nonfiction, with a particular interest in LGBTQ+ perspectives across topics.
In nonfiction she is drawn above all else to lyrical writing and rigorous thinking, and is interested in climate change, nature, geopolitics, migration, pop culture, tech, and in works that might be defined as cultural anthropology—books that help us understand the world we live in now.
In fiction, as well as work that engages with the above topics, she has a particular soft spot for social horror, literary fiction that flirts with genre, working class characters, and intimate novels that burrow deep into the brain of one captivating weirdo.
Various other topics of interest: chosen family; cults/religion/belief; birds. I also have a soft spot for stylishly-written, character-driven crime and mystery.

Vital Info
I’d like the next…
I’m in the mood for millenialish dark comedy / genre mash ups like crime in the vein of SEARCH PARTY, or horror like BRAND NEW CHERRY FLAVOR (the tv show).
Fresh apocalypses, like in SEVERENCE, ZONE ONE, GOLD FAME CITRUS, STATION ELEVEN; LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND.
My favorites include…
Kayla Rae Whitaker’s THE ANIMATORS; Victor LaValle’s THE DEVIL IN SILVER; Samanta Schweblin’s FEVER DREAM; Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah’s FRIDAY BLACK; Valeria Luiselli’s LOST CHILDREN ARCHIVE; Claire Vaye Watkins’ GOLD FAME CITRUS.
