Finding a literary agent


After one’s done writing their full manuscript and editing their work. The next step is to write a query letter and then find some literary agents that you believe your manuscript fits what they are looking for. Here are three literary agents and what types of works they are looking to represent. 


Kathryn Green is the literary agent for Laurie Faria Stolarz, who wrote The Blue is for Nightmare series and many other books too. Ms. Green owns her own literary agency called Kathryn Green Literary Agency, LLC. That is located in New York. She only accepts e-mail query letters with no attachments. She also wants the first ten pages at the bottom of their query letters that is all placed in the body of the e-mail. The genre Ms. Green likes to read is General fiction, Mystery, Romance, Juvenile fiction…


Rosemary B. Stimola is the literary agent for Suzanne Collins, who wrote The Hunger Games series, with many other books too. Ms. Stimola owns her own literary agency called Stimola Literary Studio. This literary agency is located in New Jersey. She only accepts e-mail query letters with no attachments. The query letter must be placed in the body of an e-mail. Ms. Stimola also wants the first ten pages located at the bottom of the query letter right after their personal information. She likes to read Young Adult, Children’s Middle Grade and Graphic Novels. In nonfiction, she likes to read cookbooks.


Susan Ramer is the literary agent for Kathryn Stockett, who wrote the novel The Help, with many other books too. Ms. Ramer is part of Don Congdon Associates, INC. This agency is located in New York. Ms. Ramer only accepts e-mail queries with the first chapter after their personal information. The query letter must be placed in the body of the e-mail with no attachments. The genres she likes to read is literary fiction, up market commercial fiction (contemporary and historical), and narrative non-fiction.     


The literary agent that I would especially like to represent me would be Kathryn Green. This is because she seems to like to represent people who write in the supernatural genre, which is the genre that I like writing  in.
