Collapse section Fiction Open

As an agent, Stefanie focuses primarily on upmarket fiction with commercial appeal. She loves literary thrillers, historical fiction, quick-witted beach and book club reads, and any plot-driven story with a distinctive voice and a smart, high-concept hook. Stefanie also gravitates towards novels with a strong sense of time and place, a unique atmosphere, or gripping, edge-of-the-seat suspense. She loves books with spooky undertones and magical elements, and she’s always on the hunt for writers who make her laugh.
Some of Stefanie’s favorite books include: The Storied Life of AJ Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin; The Maid by Nita Prose; Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo; Counterfeit by Kirstin Chen; Circe by Madeline Miller; Starling House by Alix E. Harrow; A Lady’s Guide to Fortune-Hunting by Sophie Irwin; The Jane Austen Society by Natalie Jenner; The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides; Possession by A.S. Byatt; The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters; Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus; The Guncle by Steven Rowley.

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.
