Tina Wainscott

An agent with The Seymour Agency (see other agents at this agency).

About

Tina Wainscott has been an agent with The Seymour Agency since 2016 and understands the publishing business and the agent-author relationship from both sides. She's looking to work with authors who have projects in the self-help/personal transformation/spiritual growth and health space. A large, engaged platform and/or credentials are a must. If you have those, along with a provocative idea and compelling title and hook, she’d love to see it. Diversity is welcome!

Nonfiction Temp Closed

She will consider memoirs, but note that they’re particularly difficult to place unless you are “notable” or have an extraordinary experience that aims to inspire. Many people admirably go (and grow) through life’s upheavals, but it takes something truly special to grab an editor’s eye.

She will also consider select true-crime projects, having worked on Bad to Blue: The True Story of a Chinatown Gangster Who Became an NYPD Detective by Mike Moy (Blackstone) In the Ghost Shadows: The Untold Story of Chinatown’s Most Powerful Crime Boss by Peter Chin and Everett De Morier (Kensington), and Dead in the Water: The Real Story of Nathan Carman by David J. Farrell, Jr. (Post Hill Press).

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.
