Commercial genre fiction with intricate storytelling, speculative elements, and fresh narrative voices. Also looking for horror, mystery, and nonfiction projects from BIPOC and queer authors.
Space operas, science fiction centering around AI, historical fiction about war, procedural thrillers.
Alexandra Grana is an associate agent at P.S. Literary Agency actively building her list in adult fiction and nonfiction. She gravitates toward commercial genre fiction with a focus on intricately told stories featuring complex characters and big emotions. She is particularly drawn to speculative fiction, mysteries, horror, and nonfiction projects exploring niche topics with enthusiasm.
In Adult Fiction looking for: - Code breaking or puzzle solving based mysteries - Inventive second world fantasy inspired by non-Western cultures or folklore - Book club fiction with speculative elements - Closed circle mysteries, especially if set in a theater or train and with bonus points for speculative elements - Stories in specific, heavily atmospheric environments like the Arctic, Appalachia, or desert where the setting becomes like a character - Adult Dystopians - Stories inspired by Reality TV - Horror-romance, monster romance, and gothic romance - Supernatural and psychological thrillers - Stories exploring the spirit world - Stories with survivalist elements - Femme gore and body horror - Horrors about religious deconstruction and cults - Romance subplots that heavily feature yearning - Immersive second world science fiction - Grounded, accessible science fiction In Nonfiction looking for: - Pop culture - Pop science - Occult/astrology/tarot (anything witchy!) - Spiritual - Food - Cookbooks - Health and wellness Happy to consider projects that do not exactly match any of the above elements. Not a good fit for space operas, science fiction centering around AI, historical fiction about war, or procedural thrillers.
