After a childhood spent reading, Natascha Morris knew she would be a certifiable “Publishing Nerd”. She joined The Tobias Literary Agency in 2020 after previously working at BookEnds Literary and Simon & Schuster. Her editorial philosophy stems from the idea that all books should be well written and entertaining, and that all children should see themselves and their lives in books.

Natascha is primarily looking for bold, emotional narratives with layered characters; lyrical and atmospheric writing; voicey genre-blending tales; big stakes; speculative worlds filled with haunting, quietly wondrous magic; sharply funny rom-coms and coming of age narratives; witty and heartfelt picture books; and fearless storytellers tackling big ideas. She loves working with and supporting marginalized authors and their stories, and believes in championing stories that blend literary finesse with commercial appeal.
