New Literary Agent Alert: Lisa Rodgers of Jabberwocky Literary
Literary agent alerts (like this one with Lisa Rodgers of Jaberwocky Literary) are golden opportunities for new writers because each one is a literary agent who is likely building their client list.
About Lisa: Lisa grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and graduated from California State University, Sacramento, in 2011 with a bachelor’s degree in English Literature and a minor in German literature-in-translation, history, and culture (sadly, she doesn’t speak German, although it’s on her bucket list). She moved to New York City in 2012 to attend NYU’s Summer Publishing Institute and joined the JABberwocky team a few months later. She’s previously worked at San Francisco/Sacramento Book Reviews and Barnes & Noble, interned at Levine Greenberg Literary Agency, and read submissions for Lightspeed Magazine.
She is seeking: science fiction, fantasy, YA and middle grade of all genres, and romance.
How to submit: e-mail her at querylisa [at] awfulagent [dot] com. In the body of the email, please include your query letter and the first 25 pages of your manuscript. A synopsis is also helpful, but by no means required. Please paste everything into the body of the e-mail; attachments won't be opened.
