Liza DeBlock An agent with Greenstone Literary Agency (see other agents at this agency). About Liza started in publishing as an assistant at Eccles Fisher Associates in 2018.

Collapse section Fiction Open When it comes to fiction, I am on the hunt for books that fall into commercial, book club, and edging on literary novels. I love a good thriller set in an unusual location, or with a speculative edge, or even with characters whose jobs are unique and distinct. When it comes to historical fiction, I would love to see a book based on real historical figures that we need to rethink, reevaluate, or reimagine. I also love it when another genre slips into historical fiction - make it gothic, magical, fantastical, or even better - haunted. Having worked in archives and studied in Scotland, I would love to find something set within this space.I would love to find an elegant love story with a speculative edge. Whether that’s time travel, magic, grounded fantasy, a unique setting - sweep me off my feet in a way I’ve never read before. I also enjoy romcoms with smart writing, lots of steam, and am a sucker for enemies-to-lovers and slow-burn tropes. When it comes to fantasy, send me something with a unique magic system, a new world, romantic threads, unusual creatures, and anything inspired by folklore from across the world.Audience:Open to a broad Audience, including: Adults.Genres: General Subgenres: Gothic, Historical, Magic Realism Fantasy Open to all/most Subgenres, including: Gothic, Magic Realism, Shapeshifter, Urban Fantasy, Vampire Suspense/Thriller Open to all/most SubgenresLengths: NovelStyles:Open to all/most Styles, including: Literary, Mainstream.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.
