Paula Weiman
Literary Agent
Categories
Description
Handles picture book texts, illustrator portfolios, and author-illustrator projects featuring sly humor, clear hooks, complete arcs, and themes tied to cultural heritage or STEM, with bold and distinctive art styles. Handles high concept chapter books suited to episodic series, especially those led by underrepresented protagonists, and welcomes illustration-forward work. Seeks middle grade mysteries, adventures, and occasional emotionally driven stories with strong voice, clear stakes, and narrators who are charming, clever, and imperfect. Looks for young adult fiction including heists, thrillers centered on systemic injustice, and rom-coms grounded in real issues faced by teens, with particular interest in queer, BIPOC, disabled, and religious minority characters. For YA speculative fiction, considers psychological horror exploring colonization, familial trauma, environmentalism, and mental illness, as well as second-world and contemporary fantasy with efficient world-building, unique magic systems, and settings outside Europe or the anglophone world; will consider New Adult fantasy when the category fit is clear. Welcomes stories by and about marginalized creators and characters. Not a fit for hard sci-fi, animal protagonists, vampires, werewolves, or revenge narratives rooted in feminine rage, and not currently considering unsolicited graphic novel proposals or adult fiction queries.Approaches
