Publishers Marketplace I am currently closed to submissions. Jan Baumer Senior Vice President, Literary Agent From the start of her career in publishing as an acquisitions editor at HarperCollins to her agenting practice at Folio, the one thread that has remained constant for Jan Baumer is her belief that books have the power to create profound change on levels large and small. Jan has had the pleasure of working with some of our world’s leading nonfiction voices – from PhD psychologists to award-winning journalists to business leaders to parenting experts, and beyond. Jan is particularly interested in authors who are measurable experts in their field (i.e., impressively credentialed or come with a built-in following) and are looking to change minds, change the world, and change the way people think, interact, and live day-to-day. 
The categories she represents are solely nonfiction, specifically smart self-help, psychology, expert and research-driven health, narrative, memoir, parenting, and business, but is open to well executed nonfiction proposals outside of these lanes as well. What I'm Looking For How to Submit

Publishers Marketplace Placeholder for closed text. Katherine Odom-Tomchin Literary Agent, Audio Rights Director Katherine (Kat) is the Audio Rights Director, a literary agent, and an operations manager at Folio Literary Management, where she represents both fiction and nonfiction. Her fiction clients include USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author Penelope Bloom (the CONFLUENCE ACADEMY series, beginning with UNBOUND), Carissa Orlando (author of the horror novel THE SEPTEMBER HOUSE), and the Estate of Robert Lindner (REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE and THE FIFTY-MINUTE HOUR). In nonfiction, she represents Bridget Todd (creator of iHeart Media's hit podcast There Are No Girls On The Internet , LOVE AT FIRST PROMPT), BravoTV's Reza Farahan (star of Shahs of Sunset and The Valley: Persian Style , MEMOIRS OF A GAY SHAH), and Ashley Tepper (WOMEN WRITING MUSICALS). She holds a special interest in dark, mind-bending narratives, often with a unique world-building element, that strike a chord with their audience. As Audio Rights Director, Kat strategically places audio rights on behalf of her colleagues at Folio as well as the storied authors from the affiliated agencies of Harold Ober Associates and Emma Sweeney Agency. She also acts as a subagent, selling audio for the independent publishers BenBella Books (based in Texas, publishing non-fiction only), and Regal House Publishing (a women-owned press focused primarily on fiction). She has placed audio rights on behalf of such authors as Jenny Han, Lois Lowry, Carolyn Brown, Sara Gruen, Rachel Rodgers, Michael Easter, Mother Teresa, Seraphina Nova-Glass, and the Grand Ole Opry. Kat began her publishing career at Heritage Publishing, Inc., where she held various positions in the editorial, graphic design, and information departments. She graduated from the University of Florida in 2017 with a major in English and a minor in Mass Communications and completed her certificate in Business Contracts at Cornell University in 2022. She is currently reading The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin. What I'm Looking For How to Submit When thinking about the books I most like to represent, or most like to read, and even the television and movies I watch time and time again, I often come back to a few constants: For fiction , I most enjoy dark, mind-bending narratives, often with a unique world-building element, that strike a chord with their audience. Whatever the genre - horror, science fiction, psychological thrillers, etc. - I find myself struck by stories that reveal some dark, hidden facts about the people or world around us. That said, I also have a soft spot for LGBTQIA+ romance, which I read guiltily while the latest horror novel sits judging me from my bedside table. I'm most driven to read and represent narrative nonfiction that tells stories of triumph over extreme hardship on the non-fiction side. I'm an avid consumer of true crime by writers personally invested in the story that they are telling and/or with inside information in a case, whether cold or solved. I will pick up the occasional science and psychology book by an expert in their field to better understand myself and how the world operates. A good rule of thumb when submitting a proposal to me is to consider the marketability of your work. Does your work/your platform have publicity potential? If the answer is yes, I'm intrigued. PLEASE NOTE : I do not currently represent YA or middle grade content. Horror - Less gore and paranormal than the typical slasher or ghost story. More in line with titles like THE FINAL GIRL SUPPORT GROUP, SHUTTER ISLAND, THE HANDMAID'S TALE, or MISERY. I'm open to paranormal stories like THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE and stories featuring younger characters like IT, but the characters and writing must carry the story. Psychological Thriller - A recent favorite is Elaine Murphy's LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO. Grounded/Hard Science Fiction - Driven more by characters and voice that imagines a world altered in some way by a scientific discovery or happening. Good examples are SEVERANCE by Ling Ma, ANNIHILATION by Jeff VanderMeer, and THE MARTIAN. LGBTQIA+ - Either romance, such as Ashley Herring Blake's BRIGHT FALLS series, or genre fiction with queer protagonists. TELL MY I'M WORTHLESS by Alison Rumfitt is a perfect example. Psychology True Crime - Think MINDHUNTER by John E. Douglas and Mark Olshaker or I'LL BE GONE IN THE DARK by Michelle McNamara Journalistic Nonfiction - A favorite is BAD BLOOD by investigative reporter John Carreyrou Narrative Nonfiction Science Underrepresented Voices Please visit my Query Manager page, linked here , to submit. Though I try to respond to all queries, if you don’t hear from me within thirty days, please consider it a pass. PLEASE NOTE : I will not accept queries sent via any other method or to any email address. Thanks in advance for your attention to these requirements.

Publishers Marketplace Placeholder for closed text. Emily van Beek Partner, Literary Agent I moved to New York City from Toronto armed with dual citizenship, a dream to work in children’s publishing, and inspiration from my favorite (if clichéd) Zen magnet, “Leap and the net will appear”. I’m a partner and literary agent at Folio. Some of the New York Times bestselling and award-winning clients I represent include Kendare Blake, Lauren Castillo, Amina Luqman Dawson, Jenny Han, Rachael Lippincott, Lois Lowry, Cherry Mo, Sydney Smith, Philip & Erin Stead as well as striking debut and emerging voices. I am an editorial agent passionate about negotiating the best deal possible, working with our esteemed subsidiary and contracts teams to squeeze as much juice out of a property as it will yield, and helping my clients to publish books that will stand the test of time. What I'm Looking For How to Submit Please note that my colleague, Estelle Laure, and I work very closely together. Any queries to me should also be considered queries to her. NEW ADULT: We would LOVE a coming-of-age story with series potential; a romantasy series with a new, delicious hook; a cozy mystery with series potential; a high-concept speculative; a juicy family drama. We're always on the lookout for a comedy, rom-com, or otherwise hilarious romp. There is so much to work with in terms of first attempts at adulthood, and we're actively adding to our list in this sphere. YOUNG ADULT: We're eager to find novels that are high-concept and also incredibly well written. We want to be in the marrow of human experience here. Give us something bold and fresh with a voice that’s impossible to put aside. We're probably not the best choice for “message” books or hard science fiction. What we're really looking for is the intersection between stellar writing and plot — something that leaves us puffy-eyed or laughing out loud. We're looking for emotional connection, for drama, for hope. Oh! Something else — we would love, love, LOVE to discover a FUNNY manuscript like RAYNE & DELILAH’S MIDNITE MATINEE by Jeff Zentner. Other favorite YA includes (takes deep breath): TYRELL by Coe Booth, I WILL SAVE YOU by Matt de la Peña, I’LL GIVE YOU THE SUN by Jandy Nelson, THE FIREKEEPER’S DAUGHTER by Angeline Boulley, STRANGE THE DREAMER by Laini Taylor, MOSQUITOLAND by David Arnold, GIRL IN PIECES by Kathleen Glasgow, DAMSEL by Elana K. Arnold, TOKYO EVER AFTER by Emiko Jean, A MILLION JUNES by Emily Henry, THE BELLES by Dhonielle Clayton, THIS SAVAGE SONG by Victoria Schwab, DIG by A.S. King, KILL THE BOY BAND by Goldy Moldavsky, ALL BOYS AREN’T BLUE by George M. Johnson, and FABLE by Adrienne Young. MIDDLE GRADE: We're very judiciously on the hunt for exquisitely imagined middle grade. We’d love a middle grade crush/first-tremors-of-love book. We’d be thrilled to find a comedy or a humorously mischievous story. We're looking for a plot that works with the middle grade attention span, which is always top of mind. We aren't a great fit road trip or questing-through-the-forest-type adventures. Favorites include: FAR FROM HOME by Jasmine Warga, AMARI AND THE NIGHT BROTHERS by B.B. Alston, THE ONE AND ONLY IVAN by Katherine Applegate, KEEPER by Kathi Appelt, ROOFTOPPERS by Katherine Rundell, and PET by Akwaeke Emezi. PICTURE BOOKS: At this time, we're exclusively interested in AUTHOR/ILLUSTRATORS, especially award-worthy artwork, character-driven series, and work by diverse creators featuring diverse stories. We aren't looking for board books, novelty, picture book texts, or chapter books at this time. Please send along your query letter and first ten pages of your manuscript in the body of the email to emily@foliolitmanagement.com . Please send your query to this email address ONLY. Queries sent to any other email address may not be considered. If you'd like to submit a picture book, please attach a PDF of your dummy. Links to online portfolios are always welcome.

Publishers Marketplace I am currently closed to submissions. Jeff Kleinman Literary Agent, Founding Partner So this is what I love more than anything else: I'm sitting on the couch reading, and then I'm gone - living in Narnia, breathing Middle Earth air, dodging passers-by in turn-of-the-century New York City. There's nothing else like that moment. Sometimes (ok, true confession here) I'll get so caught up that my hands go numb (which makes scrolling down almost impossible). Once my diaphragm seized up and I had to stop reading so the black spots would disappear in front of my eyes. That's what books can do: they can transform you. They can transform the world. (OK, so I'm a bit of an idealist.) I'm on the hunt: Although I'm not taking on unsolicited projects, I want to work on books that can make a difference. I love unique voices, magnificently strong characters, unusual premises, and books that offer up some new perspective on something I thought I already knew something about (like Alaskan exploration ) or never even dreamed existed (a racecar-loving dog , for instance). I'm always interested in learning (I spent a lot of time in the classroom, with a B.A. in English / Modern Studies from the University of Virginia, an M.A. in Italian from the University of Chicago, and a J.D. from the Case Western Reserve University School of Law. Yeah, that was definitely enough schooling for anybody), and I love it when someone can teach me something organically so it doesn't feel like I'm even learning. While I'm hunting for that next amazing book, I'm also a founding partner at Folio , a Manhattan-based agency - we pride ourselves on nurturing new talent and developing a strong, supportive, professional relationship with our clients. (You won't get shunted off to an assistant, for instance.) Clients can be first-time authors, authors with established writing careers, or legacy estates: what matters most is how to make those words relevant, and important, and resonate in today's very crazy world. What I'm Looking For How to Submit * Books that make a difference. I really love books that make me realize something new about the world, or myself - books that will change me for the better. Maybe they celebrate some aspect of life, or inspire the reader to try harder. This doesn't mean 'inspirational books' (which tend to have a more religious slant, and would be better suited to other agents at Folio) as much as inspiring books - I like well-written, solid stories that charm me to try to do better and be a better person. * Books with a distinctive, special voice. (Not sure what I mean? Pick up The Art of Racing in the Rain today!) * Books with a very unique, special, 'I haven't seen this before' premise that can be summed up in a sentence or two, but also that don't sound totally crazy. Try telling your book idea to someone who doesn't know you - if, after you do, the person says, 'Wow!? that's the kind of thing I'd love to see. * Upmarket / literary suspense / thrillers. I'd love to find upmarket psychological suspense stories with unique concepts and really strong writing. * Escape stories that take us totally out of our world and into another - for instance, The Snow Child , set in the far reaches of 1920s Alaska. (But keep in mind that I don?t represent science fiction or fantasy.) * Upbeat subjects. I avoid 'misery memoirs' and books about terrorists bent on destroying civilization. * History has always been a passion, so I'm on the lookout for something that brings the past to life and makes it relevant. * Animals are another interest: I grew up in a house that had a lot of animals underfoot, so not surprisingly I find myself doing a lot of animal-oriented books today. I am not looking for: * Children's, middle grade, young adult. * Christian. * Prescriptive ('how to') travel books. * Genre commercial fiction (science fiction and/or fantasy, westerns, mysteries, and/or romances). * Poetry * Plays, teleplays, or screenplays. * Novels less than 60,000 words. * Books on serial killers, children in peril (kidnapped, murdered, victimized, and so forth), or books dealing with the events of September 11, 2001. I also avoid subjects like rape, suicide, and manic-depression; and thrillers in which there's some terrorist organization bent on destroying America or the world. * Books that deal, positively or negatively, with the present political climate - this includes fiction and nonfiction. To sum up: A great story can allow you to enter other people's thoughts and lives - and, when you close the book with a sigh, transform you: maybe you're a little more grateful, or a little kinder, or a little wiser. I love books that inspire me to become better, smarter, more present. This has been the case with many of the books I've represented, and it's something I seek in new projects. I believe strongly that books can make a difference. Good writing and smart ideas can change our world.

Publishers Marketplace Placeholder for closed text. Hannah Teachout Literary Agent I love a good adventure on and off the page, but especially the stories that dig into themes of identity and explore the metaphors of magic and monsters. I work on Middle Grade, Young Adult, and Adult fiction across genres and love a speculative or romantic bent and distinct voice. I earned an MFA in Writing for Children & Young Adults from Vermont College of Fine Arts. I have worked as a bookseller, festival organizer, and freelance editor before landing at Folio Literary Management where I’ve had the privilege to support Lauren Spieller and John Cusick and their lists of talented clients and am now building my own list. What I'm Looking For How to Submit Across Middle Grade, Young Adult, and Adult fiction, I’m looking for stories with high concepts, gripping and memorable voices, and characters you don’t want to let go of when the book ends. This could be fantasy (including romantasy), horror, thriller, romance, bookclub, etc, but I tend to prefer fast-paced, tight plotting no matter the genre. I’m a sucker for projects that cross shelves (think horror-romcom or other mash-ups!) and I’m always looking for underrepresented voices telling all sorts of stories, with adventure and joy and hope at their heart. Adult: Whether it’s genre fiction or upmarket/bookclub, I’m looking for projects that make me feel big emotions about people and our societies. I want to feel changed after reading! In Adult (and new adult) fiction, I’m looking for romance, speculative, and upmarket/bookclub fiction with hooks that make you want to immediately dive into and writing that makes you see the world differently. I adore romance and love kissing books, but I’m also interested in exploring other types of relationships, such as family, friendships, mentors/role models, etc. MG: I lean toward adventure and fantastical stories for younger readers, and my heart is especially gripped by the magical and spooky (even more so if it’s balanced with laugh-out-loud humor). Titles/authors I’ve loved: Small Spaces, The Jumbies, When You Reach Me, Ellie Engle Saves the World Herself, Jasmine Warga A few super-specific things I’d love to see: Horror about toxic friendships/friend breakups Deep sea horror/dystopian Dark academia Unreliable narrators and unusual narrative structures (Counterfeit, Code Name Verity, Expiration Dates) Unapologetically villainous women Summer/lake romances that very nearly break your heart Stories set outside of the US that make me feel like I’ve traveled there Heists in unusual settings Not a fit: Nonfiction, short fiction, poetry, and stories about cops. While I love reading picture books and early readers, I am not currently looking for these categories. Please send your query letter and first ten pages via the link below. Only queries received through QueryManager will be considered: https://QueryTracker.net/query/HannahTeachout I strive to respond to all submissions, but if you have not heard back in 8 weeks you may consider it a pass.

Publishers Marketplace Placeholder for closed text. Marcy Posner Senior Vice President, Literary Agent I have spent a lifetime in books. I started out with a brief stint as a children’s librarian, but found it a bit too staid, so moved on to publishing. After fifteen years on the editorial side of the business, I made the jump to agenting, and I have been at Folio for seven years. Editorial skill and a deep knowledge of the publishing industry sets me apart from many of my colleagues. When I work with my authors, I’ll focus editorially on how to make the book as strong as it could be. During that process, I’m able to bring to bear all the institutional memory I possess, knowing which editors and which publishing houses have a penchant for a certain subject, or a different voice, or a particular kind of author. My clients include Newbery Honor winner and New York Times bestseller Jacqueline Kelly among others.
