All six agents at P.S. Literary are looking for new authors – fiction and nonfiction, for adults and young people.
Stephanie Winter is acquiring adult, Young Adult,
and Middle Grade fiction, in addition to Graphic Novels. She’s actively seeking
titles with diverse and inclusive representation that offer smart, culturally
aware, and enriching narratives.
For young readers, Stephanie loves
a good adventure story, light SFF, and STEAM topics.
In the adult space, she
appreciates all sorts of fiction but particularly enjoys Rom-Coms and Thrillers
(located outside the home) and LGBTQ+ stories that bring joy.
Stephanie also acquires select
nonfiction in all age groups, with a soft spot for projects that blend
illustration with information on culturally relevant topics.

fiction, she’s looking for Psychological and Commercial Thrillers, works of
fiction inspired by actual crimes, Mystery, Suspense, Cozies, Contemporary
Fiction (especially family dramas), and Adult Rom-Coms. Claire is a lover of
the dark and twisted, and she’s happiest when reading manuscripts with
unexpected endings.
For nonfiction, Claire is
seeking a range of projects, including Lifestyle Guides, Pop Culture
celebrations, Pop Psychology, Humor, True Crime, and illustrated books for
adults.
