An agent with Raven Quill Literary Agency (see other agents at this agency).

About

Jacqui Lipton founded Raven Quill Literary Agency in 2020 and is happy to return to the helm after spending several years as a Senior Agent at The Tobias Literary Agency. She loves all things books and publishing and has been an avid reader since elementary school. Her tastes were always broad and eclectic. She loved (and still does) reading everything from a good murder mystery to space opera to contemporary romance and everything in between.
Her background is also eclectic. At university (yes, in Australia, they call it "university"), she studied law, psychology, drama, languages, and information technology. She practiced as a banking and finance attorney in Australia, and has worked as a law professor in Australia, the U.K. and the United States where her teaching and writing has focused on laws relating to the publishing industry, digital technology law, copyright, trademark, privacy, and defamation. She is the author of Law & Authors: a Legal Handbook for Writers (2020, University of California Press) and Our Data, Ourselves: a Personal Guide to Digital Privacy (2022, University of California Press).
She holds an M.F.A. in Fiction from Vermont College of Fine Arts and regularly teaches classes on writing and on legal aspects of publishing around the country.

Agent Impersonation Scams are becoming commonplace.
A legitimate agent will not contact you and request money to represent you. 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.
