Sarah Davies The last time the agent had an active listing on Duotrope, the agent was affiliated with The Greenhouse Literary Agency (see other agents at this agency). Permanently Closed: This agent is no longer accepting queries (November 2021). We provide the following information as an archive. About Sarah founded the Greenhouse when she moved to the US in 2007 after a long career as a UK children’s publisher. She now divides her time between London and New York. Sarah has been an editor most of her life and has considerable experience in contract negotiation, marketing and rights. Excellent publishing contacts in both the USA and Britain, and many years spent living in both countries, have given her an unusually transatlantic view of the children’s books industry, from both sides of the desk. A member of AAR, Sarah has crossed America and Europe talking about children’s books and writing craft. She says, ‘Everything you need to know about Greenhouse is in its name.’ This agent may not respond to all queries. After waiting 45 days, assume your submission will not be accepted. Country of Publication International Professional Associations Member of AALA Collapse section Fiction Closed The core of Sarah’s literary tastes lies within middle grade and YA fiction. At the younger end her taste is eclectic. She loves adventurous and funny stories as well as those that are heartfelt, meaningful and voice driven – perhaps with a touch of magic – which perfectly evoke the experience of pre-teen children. In YA fiction she tends to go for fairly high-concept stories (ie where the concept is easily communicable) delivered with voice and a degree of lyricism. It’s the marriage of concept + craft that excites her. Beyond this, Sarah has represented a number of picture books, both fictional and biographies, and has a particular passion for adult suspense fiction aimed at female readers.Audience:Middle grades, Young adults.Genres: Open to all/most Genres, including: General Open to all/most Subgenres, including: Historical, Magic Realism Fantasy Open to all/most Subgenres, including: Magic Realism Mystery/Crime Open to all/most SubgenresLengths: NovelStyles:Open to all/most Styles, including: Literary, Mainstream.Topics: Open to all/most Topics.Submissions:Method: Electronic submissions.
