What Brent is looking for
Brent has an appreciation for both commercial and literary fiction, and often finds himself falling in love with books that possess the best elements of both: books that have commercial concepts, that will appeal to a wide audience, and are written in prose that is layered with emotion. Currently, Brent is seeking new clients in middle grade, young adult, and adult literature, as well as graphic novels. He is primarily looking for strong concepts that he hasn’t seen before.
