How to successfully present your work

I’m a former elementary school teacher turned children’s book author and literary agent. I represent commercial fiction – board books through adult – but specialize in children’s literature. In all manuscripts, I want intensity in the writing. (Give me all the feels!) I want to be dropped into the moment and experience the story alongside the characters. Character development and emotional arcs go hand-in-hand with the plot. If a book is high-concept, commercial fiction with beautiful, literary-leaning prose, it’s probably up my alley. I heavily prefer to work with BIPOC, queer, disabled, and neurodivergent authors across all genres. Adult/YA Wishlist: *New twist on non-Western mythology and legends *Grounded fantasy and romantasy *Impeccable world-building that compliments character development *Thrillers, especially with a horror, paranormal, or spooky angle *Ghosts, paranormal, HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE vibes Not for me: -Sci-fi or space operas -Time travel & multi-verse -Zombie apocalypse -Sexual assault stories -Erotica -Literary concepts or anything that makes me think too hard Picture Book Wishlist: *Highly giftable, commercial fiction by underrepresented authors *Puns and playful “picture book magic” moments, full of heart *Familiar storylines with a fresh twist or perspective Not for me: -Picture book potty humor -Graphic novels Query Me: https://querymanager.com/vweber
