Fantasy and historical fiction set in non-Western inspired worlds, particularly Southeast Asia, with characters who are not born heroes but choose to be. Also interested in pop-science books that use data-driven storytelling and narrative non-fiction that blends long-form journalism and ethnography.
Memoir, trauma stories, romantasy that is romance-first (e.g., Kingdom of the Wicked), Christian fiction/romance, military fiction.
Claire Elliot is a Junior Agent at FinePrint Literary Management who also works as an assistant under Lauren Bieker and Peter Rubie. Before joining FinePrint in 2024, she was an intern at Folio Literary Management.

Things Claire would like to see - Books that center friendships/friendships falling apart - Books with character-like settings - Books with new/lesser known monsters - Close POV (Even if it's multi POV, I like to be in the character's brain as I read.) - Girls with the *audacity* and all the (misplaced?) confidence. (eg: Celaena Sardothien). Things Claire is not taking at the moment: - Memoir - Trauma stories - Romantasy that is romance-first (eg: Kingdom of the Wicked.) - Christian fiction/romance - Military Fiction
