MORE INFORMATION
|
|
SPECIAL INTERESTS
|
-
Caryn is particularly interested in sports, humorous chapter books and middle-grade, edgy YA, and African-American and Latino-themed literature.
-
She represents authors in all genres of children’s literature, both fiction and non-fiction
-
Represents primarily Young Adult, Middle Grade and Chapter Books
-
She wants her nonfiction to read like fiction - a "story behind the story."
-
She would love to see more contemporary multicultural MG or YA fiction - books that deeply explore another culture, as well as books in which the ethnicity of the character is not the issue
-
She's looking for magical realism, urban fantasy, or fantasy that is very much based in reality (no maps needed); sports fiction that has a hook other than the sport, for girls and boys; page-turning thrillers; and realistic fiction with an environmental theme.
