She drinks too much diet orange soda, has a Starbucks problem (those soy chai lattes are addictive), and lives in New York with her two dogs, Slevin and Fate, who know that chewing on shoes is okay but chewing on books is not. Some of her favorite novels (that she doesn’t represent) are Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card, When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead, How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff, Jellicoe Road and Finnikin of the Rock by Melina Marchetta, The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger, Jeaniene Frost’s Vampire Huntress series, Anne Bishop’s Black Jewels series, and Jacqueline Carey’s Kushiel series. She’s interested in strong characters and voice driven stories: she’s particularly keen on strong female protagonists, complex plot lines with underlying political, moral, or philosophical issues, and stories which break out of the typical tropes of their genre. She’s an active member of AAR, RWA, and SCBWI. In Childrens’ she loves YA (all subgenres) and is dying to find great Middle Grade projects (especially something akin to the movie SUPER 8). In adult, she’s specifically looking for women’s fiction, romance (historical and paranormal), and fantasy (urban fantasy, science fiction, steampunk, epic fantasy). She is actively looking to build her list. Now an agent at New Leaf Literary, she represents adult and children’s fiction. Suzie Townsend started at FinePrint Literary Management in January 2009 and worked her way up from intern to agent.
