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).

Claudia Cross Advocate, adviser, ally, coach, counselor, and negotiator: an agent, at times, can play one or all of these roles in the literary life of an author. In responding to the changing needs of the writers she represents, Claudia brings to each a high level of individualized attention. She began her career at William Morris, and then joined Sterling Lord Literistic, where she worked for just over a decade before joining Folio and becoming a partner. She has worked with a range of authors in both fiction and nonfiction, from CEOs, chefs and debut writers to New York Times bestsellers. Among the diverse clients she represents are the literary Estate of Mother Teresa; entrepreneur and designer Emily Ley; art historian and Renoir scholar Barbara Ehrlich White; and novelists Rachel Gibson and Christina Lynch. How to Submit I am currently closed to submissions. Partner

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.
