Genres on here need to be updated based on the website @patrick:
For picture books, Ellen is only taking on new clients who are author-illustrators, and gravitates toward projects that highlight the sparse and simple.
She is interested in all genres and formats of MG and YA, especially anything spooky, graphic novels, novels-in-verse, and projects that allow her to travel vicariously through place and time.
In adult, she represents fantasy/speculative, romance, and everything in between their fun intersection.
Ellen might be convinced on a nonfiction project if it involves food.

Received a kind personal rejection. I'm surprised this agent took the time to give me honest feedback. Even though I won't get to work with Ellen, I'm so glad I queried her.

Personalized rejection. I'm getting a lot of agents saying that they're struggling to sell historical right now.
