Kendyll Drilling is a Literary Agent Apprentice at Corvisiero Literary Agency. Kendyll has been reading since the age of three, and she has never lost her appetite for reading. She never planned on pursuing literature as a career, but after an accident left her paralyzed, she decided it was in her best interest to focus on something that has always made her happy. This path led her to freelance editing manuscripts and going to college for a dual degree in English Literature and European History. Knowing her options would be limited due to her condition, she is excited and thankful for the opportunity to work with the team at Corvisiero Literary Agency.
SEEKING: Kendyll is mostly interested in fiction for all ages (middle grade, young adult, new adult, and adult), and will review each project submitted to her equally. She is especially hoping to find some underrepresented voices and bring them to the forefront. For all age groups, Kendyll enjoys:
· Fantasy and Magical Realism
· Speculative Fiction
· Folklore and Fairytale Retellings, especially those that may not be as well known
· Mythology
· Historical Fiction (especially before the 20th century)
· Immersive and well-researched (but still easy to follow and understand) science fiction
· Thrillers with harrowing twists and turns
· True crime stories
· Anything with time travel
· Own Voices narratives
· Multi-POV narratives
· Stories with the topics of mental health and disability
