She received her B.A. degree from the College of William and Mary and an M.A. from the University of Virginia, where she also worked on the Papers of George Washington, before moving to New York.

Country & Year Established United States Agent since 2017 AI Policy Human-created work only; no AI use allowed Statistics Synopsis FasterAnn Leslie Tuttle's overall average response time is faster than most agents. Collapse section Fiction Open Ann Leslie is currently seeking commercial and upmarket women’s fiction (e.g. contemporary and historical fiction, fiction featuring complex family dynamics and sagas and psychological thrillers), romance, mystery, horror, romantasy and YA on the fiction side. Drawn especially to stories with a strong sense of place, especially those set in the South or ones in which the setting often functions as an additional character, Ann Leslie is also looking for stories that have unique premises showcasing the author’s own expertise; voice-driven fiction; stories that shed light on female hidden histories or experiences and stories that are relatable to a female audience. Works that are empowering and uplifting hold appeal. She is also selectively acquiring works that may also have a faith component or deal with art history. She is not a good fit for dystopian, sci fiction, poetry, stories that are especially dark, picture books or MG.Audience:Open to a broad Audience, including: Adults, Middle grades, All genders, Females.Genres: General Subgenres: Gothic, Historical, Women's Fiction Horror Open to all/most Subgenres Mystery/Crime Open to all/most Subgenres Romance Open to all/most Subgenres, including: Contemporary, Gothic, Historical, Romantic Comedy, Romantic Suspense Suspense/Thriller Subgenre: PsychologicalLengths: NovelStyles:Open to all/most Styles, including: Literary, Mainstream.

Never pay an agent an up-front fee. That is not how literary agent representation works. Agents earn a commission only after they've landed a publishing deal for you. Also, agents scarcely ever contact writers. If an agent that you haven't queried contacts you about representation, be suspicious. Look up the agent and check if the email address is correct for that agent/agency.
