Sophie Brett-Chin

Literary Associate

Sophie Brett-Chin is a Literary Associate at Folio Literary Management who assists Jeff Kleinman and Steve Troha, while also actively building her list. Prior to joining Folio, she received her MFA in Nonfiction from Columbia University.

In nonfiction, she’s looking for narrative nonfiction across a variety of categories, including niche/overlooked histories; pop culture; memoir; and cultural criticism.

In fiction, she’s drawn to propulsive plots that are beautiful on a technical and craft level, including big-hearted novels about family and/or coming of age; upmarket and literary thrillers; and upmarket horror that uses and subverts the genre’s tropes to probe larger societal issues.

In all genres, Sophie has a continuous soft-spot for works that interrogate adolescence, — specifically teenage girlhood, treating this liminal and weird time with respect and levity — as well as anything that explores religion and ritual; and books about the ocean.

Sophie is currently closed to queries.
