New audiobook platforms are launched to rival Amazon’s Audible Books The Guardian OctoKor’Thank: Barbarian Valley Girl is FREE on Kindle for four days OctoEight Works That Blend Mystery and Detective Fiction With Fantasy and Horror Tor. Recent books she has loved include THE GLASS HOTEL, by Emily St.
She appreciates fresh takes on familiar archetypes, new perspectives on well-known myths and fairytales, and crossover rehabilitations of "archaic" genres such as noir, gothic, and classical revenge tragedy (she has a master's in revenge tragedy and is willing to get bloody!). She is actively seeking work from historically underrepresented and marginalized perspectives.
Her taste is varied, but she is consistently drawn to dynamic, thoughtful prose and vibrant character voice. She is also interested in creative nonfiction and microhistories particularly related to travel, food, and incisive cultural perspectives on luxury and beauty. She is looking for smart, inventive, ambitious storytelling and welcomes speculative elements across all genres. Isabel is actively looking to build her list in fantasy & science fiction, adult literary fiction, horror, historical fiction, contemporary commercial fiction, and upper-level young adult literature. Fox Literary is a boutique agency which represents commercial and literary fiction, along with select works of nonfiction that have broad commercial appeal.
