New Literary Agent Spotlight: Kaylyn Aldridge of Metamorphosis Literary Agency

ABOUT THE AGENT:

Kaylyn Aldridge has been a ferocious reader ever since she learned how to read. Growing up, Kaylyn spent almost all of her free time devouring the stacks of books she would get from the library. When she wasn't deep in a story, she would write her own. Creating worlds and characters was one of the major ways Kaylyn expressed herself.

In her free time, Kaylyn loves to research underground internet subcultures. She believes that diverse perspectives are key to understanding cultures, communities, and nuances of the human experience. When she is not working or reading, she likes to feed the local magpies.

KAYLYN IS SEEKING:

---

• Romance (all heat levels welcome)
• Coming-of-age
• LGBT+ fiction
• Commercial fiction
• ​Paranormal romances (ghosts, vampires, werewolves, etc. Don't shy away from the camp and angst.)
• Dark, weird, and offbeat stories with humor. Think movies like Jennifer’s Body (2009), Ginger Snaps (2000), Fresh (2022), or Teeth (2008).
• ​Fresh takes on classics (like a modern Paradise Lost).
• LGBT+ stories where queerness isn’t a source of trauma.
• Black stories that aren’t trauma-centered. Just people living, falling in love, making mistakes, and going on wild adventures.

A plus if your story features Black protagonists or diverse casts. Across all genres, she is looking for characters that feel alive.
