Quressa Robinson

An agent with Folio Literary Management (see other agents at this agency).

About

Quressa Robinson is a literary agent at Folio Literary Management, representing adult fiction with a particular focus on science fiction & fantasy, horror, and romance. She is drawn to work that combines bold, distinctive voice with strong emotional stakes and deeply realized characters.

Across genres, Quressa gravitates toward stories that balance big concepts with intimate character work, and she has a soft spot for fiction with cultural specificity, psychological depth, and relationship-driven narratives. Her taste leans toward literary-commercial hybrids, atmospheric worlds, inventive structures, and novels that feel both emotionally grounded and pitchable in one line.

Before becoming an agent, Quressa spent five years as an editor and has since built a list known for its strong point of view, rich emotional undercurrent, and powerful character arcs. She holds an MFA in Creative Writing: Fiction from Columbia University, is a former WNDB Walter Grant Committee member and was a Publisher’s Weekly Star Watch Finalist.

Originally from San Francisco and now based in New York City, Quressa loves books that stay with you long after you turn the last page—and voices that make you sit up and listen.

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.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible.

Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the agent/agency meets your standards.

  • 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.
