Internships An internship at Folio Literary Management is an educationally based program consisting of two parts: first, it provides a comprehensive introduction to the world of publishing through specific examples, stories, handouts, and practical information about the day-to-day world of publishing and agenting; and second, Folio interns will work closely with one or two Folio agents to develop the intern’s understanding of publishing through a variety of tasks. Some of these tasks may include: Learning to evaluate query letters and manuscript submissions; Assessing the process of editing manuscripts and nonfiction book proposals; Perfecting the art of the pitch letter; Becoming proficient in the etiquette for communicating with authors, editors, and publicists; and analyzing the ins and outs of publishing contracts. Things to consider Interns may be either in our New York offices or remote, depending on the intern. Interns will receive a stipend of $1000 payable half at the beginning of their internship and half at the end of the internship. Ideal interns will be interested in both the business and editorial side of publishing. They should be proficient in Microsoft Office Suite (especially Outlook), exhibit strong research and writing skills, and have a keen editorial eye.

Emily van Beek Looking for picture books by author/illustrators, middle-grade, and young adult fiction. MIDDLE-GRADE: I’m currently on the look-out for unique and distinctive voices. I’m open to almost anything within this genre and I’m eagerly looking for something new. Please send me your diverse, epic, cinematic, action-packed, adventuresome, mysterious, and fast-paced novels! I always bear in mind that readers in this age group are looking for fun and mischief, to learn something about life, and to escape and romp. YOUNG ADULT: I'm eager to find novels that are high concept, diverse, fantasy or magical realism, and am open to anything conceptually unique. In the realm of paranormal, adventure, and dystopian, I'm looking for something entirely unexpected. Give me something bold and fresh with a voice that’s impossible to put aside. I’m probably not the best choice for "message” or hard science-fiction books. What I’m really looking for is the intersection between stellar writing and plot, something that leaves me puffy eyed or laughing out loud. I, like most teenagers, am looking for emotional connection, for drama, for hope. Oh! Something else--I would love, love, LOVE to discover a FUNNY manuscript, a novel to make me LOL as Louise Rennison's ANGUS, THONGS, AND FULL-FRONTAL SNOGGING did. PICTURE BOOKS: At this time, I am exclusively interested in AUTHOR/ILLUSTRATORS. I’m especially looking for award-worthy artwork, character-driven series, and work by diverse creators featuring diverse stories. Representing an author or artist, whether aspiring or established, is an honor and a commitment I take very seriously. I am passionate about children’s and young adult books. I am passionate about negotiating the best deal possible. I am passionate about working together with our experienced and esteemed subsidiary rights and contracts teams to squeeze as much juice out of a single property as it will yield. I find it incredibly rewarding to work with new voices. I’m also committed to helping established authors and artists continue to grow their careers. I am an “editorial” agent, in that I’ll work through as many drafts over the course of as many years as it takes to polish a manuscript I believe in to a high shine prior to submission. My goal is to build long-term relationships with authors and artists and to help them publish books that will stand the test of time. Unfortunately, due to the volume of submissions I receive, I will only reply (within four weeks) if I am interested. I look forward to reading your work and thank you in advance for thinking of me.

Katherine Latshaw I’m looking for commercial nonfiction: cookbooks; lifestyle; memoir; pop culture; health & wellness; social media-platformed projects; incisive essay collections; illustrated/gift books; feminist and underrepresented voices; select fiction. I am also looking for seasoned collaborators and ghostwriters so send along those resumes! I joined Folio in 2013 after working as an agent at The Literary Group International with Frank Weimann. Prior to that, I worked at packager and literary agency Stonesong, where I participated in every facet of book production, from sales to photo shoots to edits and design. That unique perspective has allowed me to weigh in with authority on behalf of clients during every step of the publishing process. I relish working one on one with authors. For nonfiction, I will often brainstorm with clients who have the requisite knowledge and platform but aren’t sure how to harness that into a saleable concept. I will write, re-write, and edit behind a client to present the best possible pitch to editors. For fiction, my aim is the same, and I will provide whatever is necessary to achieve that result, from general editorial suggestions to line edits. My authors range very widely from celebrities like Burt Reynolds to ice cream sandwich empire Coolhaus to antiracism author Layla Saad. Genres Represented Non-Fiction Cookbook Memoir Narrative Non-Fiction Prescriptive Non-Fiction YA Middle Grade Poetry Ghostwriting Key Titles But Enough About Me by Burt Reynolds Where the Light Gets In by Kimberly William-Paisley As You Wish by Cary Elwes Sissy by Jacob Tobia Please Don't Go Before I Get Better by Madisen Kuhn Me and White Supremacy by Layla Saad Whole New You by Tia Mowry How to Submit Please reach out to me with any submissions at klatshaw@foliolit.com Senior Vice President

Sophie is currently closed to unsolicited submissions. 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 work across a variety of categories, including history; pop culture; science; memoir; and investigative and issue-focused narrative nonfiction. In fiction, she’s drawn to propulsive plots that are beautiful on a technical and craft level, including upmarket and literary thrillers; upmarket horror that uses and subverts the genre’s tropes to probe larger societal issues; and big-hearted novels about family and/or coming of age. 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. She’s not looking for children’s books on any level (picture books, MG, YA).

Jenna Land Free I am a hands-on editorial agent who builds authors’ careers, not just their books. With two decades of publishing experience, my work as an agent is informed by my past roles as a developmental editor, book packager, ghostwriter, and book collaborator. I’ve been involved in every element of book-making, from concept ideation, to outlining, to press checks. Through it all, my favorite role has been that of an author’s guide and advocate. My favorite projects challenge us to be better citizens and better humans. Among the deals I’ve secured for clients: a journalist writing about the history of the Girl Scout cookie; a sociologist writing about the impact of the mental load; and a computational neuroscientist’s memoir of falling in love with science as he navigated a parent-less childhood. I live in beautiful Seattle, Washington with my husband and two daughters. I’m a pet-lover; a volunteer with the child welfare nonprofit Strong Families; and an enthusiast of whatever gets me on the water or a mountain. What I'm Looking For Journalism that takes readers deeply into a world they’ve never seen before; leaders in sociology, psychology, child welfare, politics, education, and the environment; history for a general audience; uncommon personal stories that offer perspective into something greater than the individual; voice-driven novels and page-turning mysteries. How to Submit Please submit queries to jenna@foliolit.com . Due to the quantity of submissions, I’m not able to reply to every submission individually, though I wish I could. If you haven’t heard back from me in four weeks, I’m afraid it wasn’t the best fit for me. Affiliated Agent
