Saritza Hernández

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

About

A self-proclaimed geek who loves escaping into worlds and stories from all walks of life, Saritza will be only accepting work from creators who identify with, or are members of, an underrepresented group or global majority. She has represented bestselling and award-winning authors and illustrators of commercial fiction and nonfiction for over 15 years. Her love of great storytelling has driven her work in the publishing industry, and her passion for amplifying queer and BIPOC voices is what continues to drive her today. An avid romance, fantasy, and science-fiction reader, Saritza is a strong advocate of traditionally underserved and underrepresented communities. She enjoys fresh voices in MG, YA, and adult genre fiction and select nonfiction.

Limited Demographic: Submissions are restricted to "creators who identify with, or are members of, an underrepresented group or global majority."

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, 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.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
