Collapse section Fiction Open In fiction, Annie specializes in literary fiction with teeth: work that carries serious literary ambition alongside a hunger to be read. She loves stories that are emotionally precise and unafraid of the dark, that don’t flinch from the weight of grief or history. She is drawn to the sublime, the surreal, the uncanny, the sly.Audience:Open to a broad Audience.Genres: General Open to all/most SubgenresLengths: NovelStyles:Open to all/most Styles, including: Literary.Topics: Open to all/most Topics.Submissions:Method: Online form.

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.
