She is almost never interested in religious or experimental writing, but is otherwise open to being won over by just about any piece of excellent writing. She is hoping specifically to represent marginalized writers and their stories, doing her small part toward equalizing the publishing playing field. What she is seeking: As a reader and as an agent, she is open to most genres, as long as the novel or memoir is well-written, but she is partial to character-heavy stories that tell her something about herself or the world around her. She believes that books and writers have important things to say, and she wants to help writers get their work out there, and for readers to find them. She works toward equity in publishing and in writers’ career development with the nonprofit she is co-launching in 2022, Amplify Writers. Elisa and her bookstore, Another Read Through, quickly became known as champions of local writers and local small publishers, and as community builders. Elisa long dreamed of opening her own bookstore and in 2012, after her wife decreed that no more bookshelves were allowed in their house, she took the leap.
Elisa Saphier of MacGregor & Luedeke Literaryįrom her first job in a library, to being the editor-in-chief of her high school literary magazine, to working in four bookstores (and owning one), Elisa has always managed to surround herself with books and writers. Authenticity/own voices always essential. She's closed to non-referral PB and MG fiction queries at least until Spring, 2022, when she'll re-evaluate. What she is seeking: Mona is seeking smart, resonating projects including literary fiction, memoirs that read like fiction, & non-fiction for adults that speaks to today's cultural currents. She believes in the power of books to create more empathic beings. She's always sought to forge connections-between visuals and words, trust and the collaborative process, content and authenticity/emotion. Before she was a producer, Mona was a librarian at the Boston Public Library & for several years managed a small book shop in D.C. Mona helped define the audience, the medium, and the message for The Human Genome Project, Weston Woods, PBS, several of the Discovery Channels, and others. Inspired by imagination and content creation, Mona spent 25 years designing, writing and making non-fiction media for broadcast, non-broadcast, print, and the web.

She is drawn to strong, clever characters with complex emotional development and is drawn to well-developed/dramatic plotlines that could either end in happiness or complete disaster. Abigail is looking for something a little edgy and raw that speaks to the emotions, but also something witty and intelligent. Books with folklore and fairytales, in particular, really turn her head as she enjoys learning more about cultures through their stories and beliefs-whether it be a spooky tale, a romance, or otherwise. What she is seeking: Alongside a cup of tea or coffee, she enjoys reading Gothic Literature, Historical Fiction (open to several different eras and countries), Mysteries (that keep her on the edge of her seat), Young Adult Sci-Fi and Fantasy (with strong world building and a lot of angst), and anything else fantastical or paranormal. She has held a few editorial and content creation roles and is always looking for new books to read and explore.
