Mira Landry is an Associate Literary Agent with Corvisiero Literary Agency seeking literary and upmarket adult fiction, ideally character-driven literary explorations with efficient, stunning prose and commercially appealing plots. She co-hosts a podcast analyzing recently published books using Literary Forensics called Writers Who Read. Genres of Interest in Fiction:  General/Literary and Upmarket Fiction  Literary/ Upmarket Mystery/Thriller, with visceral settings and complex characters.  Literary Science Fiction, that leans heavy on the science, especially themes of biology, oceans, time-bending and space, but with less aliens at war and more rockets, astronauts, and blackholes.  Urban Fantasy/Magical Realism, based mostly in our reality with minimal dragons and vampires.  Literary Speculative, go ahead and make it weird.  Literary Young Adult, ideally speculative, or with unique and surprising literary devices. Genres of Interest in Non-Fiction:  Memoir, specifically female athletes and professionals  Behavioural Economics, Development and Psychology  Sport Science, Fitness, and Nutrition (not including dieting/ weight-loss/ fasting)  Meditation/Mindfulness  Modern Feminism  Essay collections, especially memoir and humorous in the vein of David Sedaris, or combining nature and life or philosophy.
