I am tickled pink to announce that I have accepted representation with Savannah Brooks of Jennifer DeChiara Literary Agency. Savannah combines marketing know-how with serious literary chops, but what impressed me most was her understanding of the importance of accurate racial representation, which is something I deeply value. I believe that stories, at their best, allow us to enter into the realities of people who are very different than us, and to realize that we are not actually that different after all. I believe that Savannah is the person who can help me realize this mission and I feel very lucky that she picked me out of the slush pile.
