Chelsea Eberly An agent with Folio Literary Management (see other agents at this agency). About I represent graphic novelists, illustrators of picture books, and authors who write middle grade, young adult, crossover new adult, and the select adult novel. As an editorial agent, I love working closely with clients to make sure their work stands out in a crowded market.I’m always on the lookout for new talent. Send me high-concept hooks and high-stakes plots, gorgeous and vivid illustrations, unique voices, speculative fiction, sweeping fantasy, unforgettable settings, tight timelines, and romance.I’m a former Senior Editor at Random House Books for Young Readers, so I understand how publishers think and use that to my advantage when advocating for my clients. While at Random House, I edited the Newbery Medal-winner When You Trap a Tiger by Tae Keller as well as New York Times bestsellers by Tamora Pierce, Leigh Bardugo, Marie Lu, Sarah J. Maas, Matt de la Peña, Mark Siegel, and Kim Johnson to name only a few. I was named a Publishers Weekly Star Watch Honoree and then made the jump to agenting, happily putting my behind-the-scenes knowledge to use on behalf of my clients as the Director of the Greenhouse Literary Agency before joining Folio Jr. as a Vice President and Literary Agent.My client list includes New York Times bestsellers and award-winners. I have successfully launched debut authors to become Barnes and Noble Book Club selections and appear on Good Morning America and CBS Mornings. I love strategizing with clients at any stage in their career about how best to achieve their goals and make smart transitions to re-energize their work. The main through line in my client list are storytellers looking to have long careers. They are passionate creators who take risks, understand (and love!) the category they’re writing in, and put big emotions on the page. Country International AI Policy Unknown AI policy Collapse section Fiction Open Across all ages and formats, I love when authors are thoughtful about structure, setting, and voice; e.g. a ticking-clock timeline, a closed setting, a journal-entry or epistolary format, and so forth. I don’t gravitate toward novel-in-verse, but will consider if it’s a standout story. Bring on genre-mashups and ambitious projects with multiple commercial hooks. Strong emotions, found family, revenge, and familiar tropes told through unique and diverse voices.Audience:Open to a broad Audience, including: Adults, Children, Middle grades, New adults, Young adults, All ethnic groups/populations, All genders, All religions, All sexual identities, Neurodivergent people, People living with mental health conditions, People with disabilities.Genres: General Open to all/most Subgenres, including: Magic Realism, Women's Fiction Fantasy Open to all/most Subgenres Romance Open to all/most Subgenres Suspense/Thriller Open to all/most SubgenresLengths: NovelStyles:Open to all/most Styles, including: Humorous, Literary, Mainstream.Topics: Open to all/most Topics including...

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.
