Alex represents authors who write in the commercial and genre fiction spaces, as well as prescriptive and narrative non-fiction. Alex is actively seeking titles with diverse and queer inclusive representation, especially by authors who are a part of the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities.

She is currently looking for Horror, Fantasy/ Romantasy, RomCom/Romance, Historical, Book Club, and Speculative fiction for adult readers. In nonfiction, Alex is looking for pop culture and lifestyle projects, and work that leans into her personal interests in spirituality, the occult, ice hockey/PWHL, and expert-led historic nonfiction.
