Above all, she seeks to represent novels that combine an ingenious plot with an unforgettable voice. Whether it’s a story that provides a new way into a familiar world or one that’s rooted in lesser-known mythology, she loves to be surprised by characters and craves books that show her something new.
Laura is specifically interested in the psychology of memory, complicated female friendships, sibling relationships, family mysteries, books about art, doppelgängers and mistaken identity, deeply flawed protagonists, crime and uniquely gifted criminals, a genuinely shocking twist, dark stories with redemption, and funny novels that start urgent conversations.

In her role as Film and TV agent, Laura works with a boutique list of author-turned-screenwriters in addition to representing books for screen adaptation.
