Marisa Zeppieri

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

About

Marisa Zeppieri is a former journalist, author of Chronically Fabulous, national speaker, and Associate Agent with Strachan Literary. She’s got a soft spot for powerful nonfiction and memoirs that dive deep into health, resilience, grief, empowerment, faith, and science. But don’t let that fool you—she’s also a fiction fan, always on the lookout for compelling upmarket, book club, and literary reads, especially from debut authors.
When she’s not buried in manuscripts, you’ll find her indulging in beach reads, mysteries, romance, and a touch of magic. Her favorite nonfiction book? Let’s Pretend This Never Happened by Jenny Lawson (because laughter is medicine). Favorite fiction? The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner (because who doesn’t love a little historical intrigue and poison?).

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.
