We can’t wait! Our Positivity Panel will be just the thing to raise your spirits in difficult times.
Here’s how it works: You send your work. Our agent and author panel chooses their favorites. And then they call YOU up to read your query and first page–and say only good things.
The result will be edited (so everyone sounds better than real life) and turned into a podcast.
It’s part reading, part instructive (“I love when authors _____”) and all-around a positive time.
We're happy you're here.

About the Instructor
Kayla Lightner
Kayla Lightner is an agent at Ayesha Pande Literary. An adventurous reader, Kayla loves stories––across adult upmarket fiction, literary fiction, and nonfiction––that can masterfully straddle the line between great storytelling and teaching her something new. In terms of taste, Kayla primarily gravitates toward speculative fiction, specifically science fiction, horror, and magical realism; Bookclub fiction with razor-sharp prose; BIPOC family sagas; compelling, well-researched narrative histories that blur the line between high-brow and low-brow; and platform-driven memoirs. She also represents a small, select group of illustrators and middle-grade titles.
