Get to Know an Agent in Attendance: Kaylyn Aldridge of Metamorphosis Literary

Kaylyn Aldridge is a literary agent at Metamorphosis Literary.

Kaylyn 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.

She seeks young adult, new adult, and adult fiction across the following categories: romance (all heat levels welcome); coming-of-age stories; LGBTQ+ fiction; and commercial fiction.

She especially enjoys: Black stories and LGBTQ+ stories not centered around trauma; dark, weird, and offbeat stories (think Jennifer’s Body, Ginger Snaps, Fresh, or Teeth); unique takes on classic stories; paranormal romances (vampires, werewolves, ghosts, etc.)​.

She is NOT a good fit for: historical Fiction (across all genres); science fiction (any genre); or epic/high fantasy (across all genres).
