I am looking for a literary agent to represent my manuscript "Growing Pains" which is a story about four young African American students and the lessons of life they learn in college. It is a great story for young African American girls to read before heading off to college. The story is not set in a historically black college nor is the focus of the story about race. I wanted to show four different kinds of people and the four different experiences they have while traversing through the sometimes crazy world of college. I know this book will do well because the readers will be able to find themselves in either one or all of the characters. Another exciting aspect of this novel is that there are two male perspectives alongside the two female perspectives. If you are interested in representing a relatively new genre in fiction and tapping a completely untapped market- African American girls- 15-20 please feel free to email me!
