Julia Kenny An agent with Dunow, Carlson & Lerner Literary Agency (see other agents at this agency). About Julia Kenny began her career in publishing as an intern at the Wendy Weil Agency, while studying creative writing at Sarah Lawrence College. For nearly 10 years, she worked as the director of foreign rights and as an agent at the Markson Thomas Literary Agency. She primarily works on fiction and has a soft spot for dark, literary suspense. She is on the lookout for writing that immediately draws her in, bold voices, "unlikeable" narrators, and stories that linger. (Please note, she very rarely takes on YA or MG.) She grew up on an island and lives with her family in Brooklyn. This agent may not respond to all queries. After waiting a reasonable amount of time, assume your submission will not be accepted.

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.
