STARDOM
Now querying | Upmarket/Book Club
Ashley Winstead’s The Future Saints meets Jean Hanff Korelitz’s The Plot. When an indie musician who is the face of an anti-AI campaign goes viral with a pop persona secretly generated from her friend’s unreleased music, she must keep the truth hidden long enough to sign a career-making record deal—before the lie takes on a life of its own.
Exit Interview
Revising | Upmarket/Book Club
Ocean’s 8 meets Sarah Wynn-Williams’ memoir Careless People. When a group of chronically underestimated women at a mission-driven startup discover it’s skimming money from the nonprofits it serves, they devise a scheme to steal it back—but as their amateur heist collides with a shadowy billion-dollar acquisition, the price of doing good may be more than they can afford.
UNTITLED
Outlining | Commercial/Upmarket
When a mega-pop star disappears, leaving behind only an inscrutable web of the easter eggs she’s famous for, an unlikely band of detectives—her ex-manager, stalker, and fan club president, each with their own secret motive—must form an uneasy alliance to figure out the truth before it’s too late: PR stunt, fame flame-out, or something more sinister?
