Jordan Hill

An agent with New Leaf Literary & Media, Inc. (see other agents at this agency).

About

Jordan Hill is a Literary Agent at New Leaf Literary and Media who represents genre and upmarket fiction for children and adults, often in the SFF and horror spaces. Whether through relationships, plot, or conflict, books on her list often address the question: all hope is lost, what now?

She’s not afraid of the dark and loves stories that grapple with the complexities of family and culture through time. She’s particularly drawn to unreliable narrators, female wit and rage, bodies of water as foreboding, and eruptive moments of catharsis. Levity is always welcome, but not a must. She also considers historical fiction or retellings with a fresh approach and compelling perspective.

Prior to agenting, she worked in advertising and before that, was an indie bookseller. She hails from Texas but has made her home in Brooklyn.

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.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the agency/agent.
  • Unless the agency's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • For agency submissions, it is standard to submit a query letter and sample instead of the full manuscript. Do this unless otherwise instructed.
