I’ve been with Tor Publishing Group since 2015, where I’ve had the opportunity to work with many talented authors, as well as major franchises including The Wheel of Time and Dune. I am currently acquiring adult fiction for the Tor and Forge imprints.

I love a book that grabs me and doesn’t let go, and with that in mind, I am on the hunt for high concept commercial fiction, especially those that straddle (and sometimes cross over) the line into speculative, similar to The Midnight Library, Remarkably Bright Creatures, and Sea of Tranquility.

I’m also looking for near future fiction in the vein of Andy Weir and Blake Crouch; contemporary fiction with speculative elements—grounded in the real world—like the thrillers by Michael Crichton and Douglas Preston; as well as myth and legend inspired fiction similar to She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan and Masquerade by O.O. Sangoyomi.

I’d especially like to see more manuscripts from the point of view of erased and underrepresented voices.
