However, we are not the right agency for poetry, plays, screenplays, or children's picture books.

Peter Rubie: In non-fiction he specializes in narrative non-fiction, popular science, spirituality, history, biography, pop culture, business and technology, parenting, health, self help, music, and food. He is a "sucker" for outstanding writing.
In fiction he represents literate thrillers, crime fiction, science fiction and fantasy, military fiction and literary fiction.

Stephany Evans: Stephany has represented nonfiction writers in the areas of health and wellness (especially women's health), spirituality, lifestyle (including home renovating/decorating, entertaining, food and wine), popular reference, and narrative nonfiction. In fiction, her core interest is in stories with a strong and interesting female protagonist, both literary and upmarket commercial — including chick lit, romance, mystery, and light suspense.

Laura Wood: serious nonfiction, especially in the areas of science and nature, along with substantial titles in business, history, religion, and other areas by academics, experienced professionals, and journalists.

Ward Calhoun: looking for nonfiction titles in the areas of sports, humor, and pop culture.

June Clark: June has built a strong client list with a focus on nonfiction projects in the area of entertainment, self-help, parenting, reference/how-to books, teen books, food and wine, style/beauty, and prescriptive business titles.

Diane Freed: interested in in nonfiction projects in the categories of advice/relationships, spirituality, inspiration, health/fitness, memoir, narrative nonfiction, popular culture, lifestyle, women’s issues, the environment, and humor. Diane accepts e-mail submissions ONLY.

Meredith Hays: Meredith is looking for projects — both fiction and nonfiction, commercial and literary — that resound with a refreshing narrative style and a unique message. In particular, she is interested in sophisticated women's fiction (think urban chick lit), pop culture, lifestyle, animals, and absorbing nonfiction accounts.

Janet Reid: Janet loves mysteries and offbeat literary fiction. She is actively looking for projects that show mastery of craft and originality.

Amy Tipton: Amy is looking for edgy fiction (gritty and urban), women's fiction, nonfiction/memoir, and YA. CLOSED TO SUBMISSIONS.
