New Literary Agent Alert: Lisa Rodgers of Jabberwocky Literary
Reminder: New literary agents (with this spotlight featuring Lisa Rodgers of Jabberwocky Literary) are golden opportunities for new writers because each one is a literary agent who is likely building his or her 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.
(Can you query be longer than one page?)
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.
