About Kimberly: Kimberly fell in love with reading when she picked up her first Babysitter’s Club book at the age of seven and hasn’t been able to get her nose out of a book since. Reading has always been her passion, even while pursuing her business degree at California State University, Northridge and law degree at Loyola Law School, Los Angeles. By joining the Rebecca Friedman Literary Agency in 2014, she has been able to merge her legal background with her love of books. Although she loves all things romance, she is also searching for books that are different and will surprise her, with empathetic characters and compelling stories. Follow her on Twitter at @kimberlybrower
What she is seeking:
- Commercial speculative fiction that is grounded, but has elements of magical realism or near-futuristic;
- Family sagas about complex relationships between dysfunctional family members (can be historical as well), similar to the tv show SUCCESSION or SHAMELESS;
- Coming-of-age stories that deal with friendships, relationships, loss of innocence, dark academia (even better if they’re set in boarding schools), but no YA;
- A unique spin on contemporary romances written for an upmarket audience with high concept plot (a tall order, but there is a project out there that meets this!);
- Domestic suspense/thrillers that explore the problems that come with following societal norms;
- Unicorn Requests (she will be very picky about any queries that fit these, but she wants to put it out in the universe): a historical fiction set in Colonial America, a mystery a la CLUE or KNIVES OUT, a grounded fiction story that has fantasy/paranormal elements
- What She’s NOT Looking For: non-fiction, political/military/legal thrillers, children’s/YA, picture books/graphic novels, westerns, spiritual/religious, high fantasy.
