New Literary Agent Alert: Claire Anderson-Wheeler of Regal Literary
Reminder: New literary agents (with this spotlight featuring Claire Anderson-Wheeler of Regal Literary) are golden opportunities for new writers because each one is a literary agent who is likely building his or her client list.
About Claire: Claire Anderson-Wheeler is the newest agent to join the team at Regal Literary Management. Prior to that she worked at Anderson Literary Management in New York, and at Christine Green Authors’ Agent in London, UK. She holds an LLB from Trinity College, Dublin, and a Masters in Creative Writing from the University of East Anglia, UK. Claire is Irish, was born in DC, and grew up in Dublin, Geneva, and Brussels. For more on Claire’s tastes, you can read an online interview here.
(Is it better to sign with a new literary agent or an experienced one?)
She is seeking: YA with a strong voice (realistic or high-concept), works of narrative non-fiction and pop culture/pop psychology, literary fiction, and commercial women’s fiction driven by strong contemporary issues.
How to submit: E-query her at submissions [at] rhaliterary.com. Write "Query for Claire" in the subject line. Please allow 4-8 weeks for response. For fiction, submissions may also include the first ten pages of the novel or one short story from a collection.
