New Literary Agent Alert: Jennifer Azantian of the Jennifer Azantian Literary Agency
Literary agent alerts (like this one with Jennifer Azantian of the Jennifer Azantion Literary Agency) are golden opportunities for new writers because each one is a literary agent who is likely building their client list.
About Jennifer: Jennifer Azantian assists Sandra Dijkstra and Elise Capron, and manages incoming submissions for SDLA. At the University of California, San Diego, she studied clinical and developmental child psychology, and graduated cum laude in 2010. After graduation, she spent a wonderful summer interning at the Dijkstra Agency before joining full-time in fall of 2011. In early 2014, in conjunction with the Paul Levine Literary Agency, she formed her own agency, Jennifer Azantian Literary Agency.
Beyond university, Jennifer is a published author of several short stories and brings to the agency her passion for literature born of a writer's heart. Her personal tastes run toward all flavors of the fantastic. She believes that it is against the backdrop of fantasy and science-fiction that basic human truths can be best examined, magnified, and delighted in. She is now acquiring projects and welcomes all submissions that match her interests.
She is seeking: She is actively acquiring only science fiction and fantasy (including all of their subgenres) as well as smart, psychological horror for middle grade, young adult, and new adult.
She is not seeking picture books.
