Roseanne Wells
Biography
Roseanne Wells is a literary agent with Lucinda Literary. She joined Lucinda Literary Agency in 2022. She is eager to see diverse voices and marginalized stories. She’s looking for young adult and middle grade of all genres; nonfiction picture books, MG, and YA in STEAM, arts, history, and biography; and MG and YA graphic novels, especially queer stories or nonfiction subjects. She’s also interested in science fiction and fantasy for adult readers. In adult nonfiction, Roseanne likes narrative nonfiction– especially popular science and history, pop culture, and big idea books with personal stakes–as well as food books and cookbooks with a fresh perspective on cuisine or culture, all with a strong hook and takeaway for the reader.
