New Agent Alert: Foladé Bell of Serendipity Literary Agency

Literary agent alerts (like this one with Foladé Bell of Serendipity Literary Agency) are golden opportunities for new writers because each one is a literary agent who is likely building their client list.

About Foladé: Most recently, she was an assistant editor at the trade publication Radio & Records.

She is seeking: literary, upmarket and commercial women’s fiction with a strong sense of story, voice and character; funny and relatable fiction; daring YA books that showcase a fresh, unique perspective; literary mysteries/thrillers that aren’t formulaic or market saturated, contemporary historical fiction, African-American issues, gay/lesbian, Christian fiction, humor and books that deeply explore other cultures. No subject is out-of-bounds. She loves nonfiction that reads like fiction. Feel free to approach her with ideas adapted from blogs or websites with new views on pop culture.
