New Agent Alert: Kathleen Rushall of Marsal Lyon Literary Agency
Literary agent alerts (like this one with Kathleen Rushall of Marsal Lyon Literary Agency) are golden opportunities for new writers because each one is a literary agent who is likely building their client list.
About Kathleen: She is a new literary agent building her client list at Waterside Productions (and now Marsal Lyon Literary). Kathleen entered the publishing world with an internship at the Sandra Dijkstra Literary Agency, and from there she started at Waterside Productions in 2009 as a literary assistant. She has her MA in English with a specialization in children's literature. To learn more about what she's looking for, check out her interview on the young adult lit blog, Love YA.
She is seeking: YA and MG fiction across the board (historical fiction, science fiction, mystery, humor, fantasy, romance, thriller, and horror), picture books, and adult nonfiction (business, parenting, how-to, women's interest, humor, health, crafts).
How to submit: You can send your electronic submissions to her at kathleen@marsallyonliteraryagency.com. For fiction submissions, please write "QUERY" in the subject line of the e-mail and include your query letter with the first 10 pages of your work in the body of your e-mail.
