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).
