Ooo, and Google cache has a thread we lost in the move. Here’s the relevant bit:Nonfiction: narrative nonfiction. Topics of special interest are history, science, women's issues, architecture, adventure, parenting, psychology, pets, health, fitness, the environment, leisure activities such as gardening, sports, cooking and travel, natural history (especially birds) and well-written memoir.
No: fiction, Sci-Fi/fantasy, young adult, poetry or scripts.
FWIW, here’s the kind of books Ms. Ryan packages.Victoria

I'm aware of no negative information about this agent (Writer Beware has received a number of inquiries). Ms. Ryan apparently was an editor at both Knopf and Macmillan before becoming an agent. I've picked up number of sales this agency has made, to Houghton Mifflin, St. Martins Press, and others. I believe that Ms. Ryan may also do book packaging for publishers.

Sharona offered me representation today. 26 days from query to offer.
I will have to do revisions, but they're fairly minor and align with what I was planning for the manuscript anyway.
I saw this on QT already, but congrats, KeatsLove! Keep us updated on your adventure.
Queried Sharona on 6/12. She seems pretty quick on the queries. Still grumbling about my email cutting off the last few paragraphs of the 50-page sample, though.
Thank you, Ether. Good luck. I finished revisions today and sent them off. Now I wait and see if I need to do more or if it's ready for submission.
(and 'yum, Chord Overstreet' re: your icon.)
Whoo! That's exciting. Good luck!
(Thanks. Love him with his darker hair.)
