Meredith also represents a wide range of children's books, from the rare picture book to more frequent middle grade and young adult novel. She is especially seeking narrative non-fiction that paints an intimate portrait of a distinctive but definitive cultural moment, relationship or circle throughout history. On the adult side, she is most interested in smart upmarket women's fiction, literary fiction (especially debut) and literary thrillers, narrative non-fiction focused on aesthetics (art, taste, music, design, etc) and also interdisciplinary history, war, love and relationships, as well as quirky platform-driven pop psychology and sociology, nonfiction about science and tech and 'how things work', sophisticated pop culture/humor books along the lines of The Hairpin, or else books which elegantly toe the highbrow/lowbrow line.
