I know she had an author with a Latina heroine for the Bombshell line (cancelled before the book's release, alas) and that later she sold the author's YA story featuring a Latina teenage graffiti artist. But I've also come across agent submission guidelines that specifically say "multicultural". Does an agent count as representing multicultural if she has a black memoirist on her roster?

Does an agent count as representing multicultural if she has a black memoirist on her roster?

Do agents generally represent anything in that, say, "Romance Genre" category, or do they need to say if they represent "multicultural romance"?
