John Jardin IMPORTANT: Someone is impersonating John Jardin. If John reaches out to discuss representation, it will come from a Folio email address. Additionally, please note that Folio agents will never charge an author money in exchange for representation. John Jardin is a Literary Associate at Folio Literary Management where he supports Steve Troha and Frank Weimann, while also actively working to build his own list. Prior to joining Folio, John received his undergraduate degree in public relations from the University of Georgia. In nonfiction, John is looking for narrative nonfiction from folks with strong, clear, and historically underrepresented voices with an eye always toward justice and anti-imperialism — stories that challenge dominant narratives about the world and our place in it. He is especially interested in books relating to sex, gender, and sexuality; race; labor and class; Indigeneity; ecology and the natural world; the American South and Appalachia; strange science; voicey, gay memoir; and the supernatural. In fiction, they are drawn to experimental, atmospheric stories with fresh and interesting points of view that are unmistakably queer. He is interested in everything ranging from LGBTQIA+ speculative fiction to queer body horror; angsty, sexy, gay satires; and literary, up-market thrillers. Any book that is heavily influenced by place and setting — could be anywhere from the rural south through to dystopian amusement parks or community swimming pools — are of particular interest.

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.

We're actively seeking narrative nonfiction, memoir, and platform-driven experts and journalists as well as literary fiction, upmarket adult fiction perfect for book clubs, and commercial fiction with fresh voices and unforgettable characters. Find the right Folio agent for your project and follow our submission guidelines to get started. We are aggressively seeking literary fiction; upmarket adult fiction that’s appropriate for book club discussion; and commercial fiction that features fresh voices and/or memorable characters. Submit to Folio Agents Non-fiction From narrative nonfiction and memoir writers to authors, experts, scholars, and journalists with well-researched, compelling and new ideas, we love authors who are ready and able to promote their work and expertise in all forms of media. Fiction From picture books to new adult, we're enthusiastically on the hunt for compelling voices and projects that spark wonder, laughter, curiosity, and intrigue. Above all, we welcome authors and illustrators who are passionate about creating exceptional books for children, teens, and young adults. Children's How to Submit Review all Folio agents here to find the right agent for your project. Once you have selected the right agent for your project, follow the submission guidelines listed on the individual agent’s page. Please note, some of our agents are currently closed to submissions. Please do not submit simultaneously to more than one Folio Agent. #1 Find the right agent. For Novels: Please wait until you’ve got a completed polished novel to query. Follow our Novel Query Letter Guidelines. For Non-Fiction: All of our agents require a complete non-fiction proposal with a sample chapter. Follow our Non-Fiction Proposal Guidelines. For All Submissions: Be sure that your cover letter, manuscript, and supplemental materials are properly formatted, and the best you think they can be: that means, at a minimum, double-spaced, well-proofed, well-written, and well-presented. #2 Prepare your materials. All of our agents provide details on how to submit queries. Please follow the directions. Please contact us about one project at a time. You may have a drawer full of fabulous yet-to-be-published manuscripts, but only tell us about the one you feel is the most polished, the most ready to go. #3 Contact the agent. #4 Await response. All agents will read your queries as soon as possible. Most Folio agents will respond to let you know of their interest or to inform you of their decision not to pursue representation. If you do not hear back from the individual agent, please understand that the sheer volume of queries can be overwhelming and on occasion, it’s simply not possible to send a personal response declining representation in every case. Generally, if an agent at Folio declines a manuscript, we felt it wasn’t a fit for any of the agents at the agency. That said, if an author feels strongly that another Folio agent should have the chance to review the author’s submission, please let the second agent know that the author has already submitted the project to other agents within Folio.
