Rebecca received her Bachelor’s degree in English from (the illustrious) Spelman College and holds a Master’s degree in Library Science from CUNY Queens College. Before joining the agency, she was a Library Information Supervisor at Brooklyn Public Library. As a former Children’s Librarian, Rebecca still maintains a soft spot for picture books perfect for Storytime, that either make kids laugh or encourage literacy development, all while offering diverse representation. Today she still serves as an active member of the New York Black Librarians Caucus.
What she is seeking: In adult and YA, Rebecca’s interests cover a wide range of genres, but most of all, she is interested in grounded, speculative stories, page-turning contemporary romance, non-linear storytelling, and elevated writing across the board. She loves to get wrapped up in a fresh and gripping premise, built out with thoughtful, multi-dimensional characters and strong voices. And while she will always argue that “the book was better,” she is intrigued by stories she can imagine watching on the big screen, or preferably, on the small screen from the comfort of her couch.
In children’s books, Rebecca’s looking for illustrated picture books with humor or heart that would work well for story time and middle-grade fiction that discusses big life moments.
In the non-fiction space, Rebecca is interested in millennial experiences and perspectives, especially ones that challenge societal norms, or that feel fresh and from underrepresented voices. She’s also interested in food, pop culture, psychology, and social commentary with hints of humor.
