This week's special guest is...literary agent Alec Shane.
Alec majored in English at Brown University, a degree he put to
immediate use by moving to Los Angeles after graduation to become a
professional stunt man. Realizing that he prefers books to breakaway
glass, he moved to New York City in 2008 to pursue a career in
publishing. Alec quickly found a home at Writers House Literary Agency,
where he worked under Jodi Reamer and Amy Berkower on a large number of
YA and Adult titles. Twitter handle: @alecdshane.
On the nonfiction side, Alec would love to see humor, biography, history (particularly military history), true crime, “guy” reads, and all things sports. “What I’m looking for in fiction: mystery, thriller, suspense, horror, historical fiction, literary fiction, and books geared toward young male readers (both YA and MG). What I’m not looking for: Romance (paranormal or otherwise), straight sci-fi, high fantasy, picture books, self-help, women’s fiction, food, travel memoir.”
