Meet Full Circle Literary's Lilly Ghahremani over on the Guide to Literary Agents blog. From the interview with this agent: "I am very interested in doing more books that will preserve our environment and that introduce readers to 'green' issues in a non-cliche way. I'm also interested in hip crafting books. I would love to do some children's, YA, or middle-grade books about the [M]iddle [E]ast. Multicultural books are appearing about a variety of ethnicities, but I'm not seeing them about Middle Easterners as much as I'd hoped. I'm also interested in pop culture, always and forever!"
