New Agent Alert: Nicole Robson at The Fischer-Harbage Agency
Literary agent alerts (like this one with Nicole Robson at The Fischer-Harbage Agency) are golden opportunities for new writers because each one is a literary agent who is likely building their client list.
About Nicole: She joined the Fischer-Harbage Agency in 2008 as an assistant and has been promoted twice. Originally from England, Nicole lived in India, China and Thailand before settling in Manhattan.
She is seeking: compelling fiction and nonfiction, specifically books with an international focus. In nonfiction, she loves narrative nonfiction and history.
How to contact: E-query: submissions(at)fischerharbage(dot)com. (Editor's note: Three writers have now told me that this submissions email that I took from the website doesn't seem to work. If I find out more, I will let you know.) Paste your query and the first chapter of your book in the body of the e-mail. No attachments.
Recent sales: Among others, Shortcut Man and The Case of Pussy Grace, by p.g. sturges (Scribner); and She's Got Game: The Woman's Guide to Loving Sports (or Just How to Fake It!), by Melissa Malamut (St. Martins).
