She’s hungry to find Women’s Fiction, Southern Fiction, high-concept Commercial Fiction with an elegant voice, a historical novel about a unique culture or time period.

She’s currently seeking romance (Contemporary Romance, Historical, M/M, PNR). But her interests aren’t limited to romance by any means. She’s hungry to find Women’s Fiction, Southern Fiction, high-concept Commercial Fiction with an elegant voice, a historical novel about a unique culture or time period. Also YA and MG of all stripes. Despite her large profile as one of the top fiction agents in the industry, she’s also had monumental success with memoir. The book 90 MINUTES IN HEAVEN, for instance, spent almost five years on the NYT and has nearly 10 million in print. She’d love to find stand-out memoirs about unique narrative experiences, told with a vibrant, unique voice. Deidre’s also seeking narrative non-fiction, personal development, business, financial, Net culture, and unusual subjects explored brilliantly. Would love to find that fantasy/women’s fiction that straddles the genres lyrically, i.e. Time Traveler’s Wife and The Night Circus.
