If you found me here, you might be looking for a children’s literary agent. I am currently closed to unsolicited queries, but I do accept industry referrals and conference queries, as well as requested pitch contest queries.
- Interested in learning what it’s like to be a literary agent, or my personal methodology? Read this 2019 interview with one of my clients. (Happily, I no longer work five jobs!)
- Check out my Manuscript Wishlist page for some ideas about what might capture my interest. I am always interested in working with marginalized creators and/or Own Voices stories.
- Want to find out which books I’ve sold and the authors I represent? Visit my Publisher’s Marketplace page, or check out the books featured on this page.
For more information about conferences I’m attending, deal announcements and more, head on over to Mastodon.
A note on being closed to queries:
I am closed to queries in order to prioritize my existing clients (and, let’s face it, my time and sanity!). I know it’s rough when you see a potential agent who might be interested in your manuscript and they’re closed. I also know that not everyone can afford to go to conferences/get paid critiques, and many new authors might not have any industry contacts. To that end, I do participate in pitch contests when my schedule allows and would happily consider other opportunities.
Nonprofit organizations, charity drives, libraries, schools, pitch contest orgs and related groups:
If you have an event, fundraiser or other publishing/writing-related function and you’re looking for participants, I’d be happy to consider it! Please contact me through the form on the “About Me” page and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible. You can also visit Red Fox Literary and contact our entire group of agents.
