William Marasco

An agent with L. Perkins Agency (see other agents at this agency).

About

William Marasco graduated from Savannah College of Art and Design in 2018 with a B.F.A. in Illustration. Sadly it was RIGHT as he was graduating that he realize that publishing was what he wanted to pursue. After college, he spent time bouncing around freelancing gigs figuring out the best way to get his foot in the industry door before discovering agenting. He managed a handful of opportunities assisting veteran agents with query evaluation, edit letters, building pitch decks and other hands on projects learning about the industry before getting picked up by L.Perkins Agency.

Collapse section Fiction Open

William is actively seeking Kidlit through YA projects (including graphic novels and author + illustrator clients), with a focus for LGBTQ+ stories, fantastical adventures with heart and hope, spicy and swoon worthy romance, and witty humor. He is equally open to the occasional 18+ queer story.
Though often open to giving any genre a chance, William keeps coming back to fiction to fuel his need for escapism. He is a fan of authors such as Claribel A. Ortega, Ryan La Sala, Kosoko Jackson, Vitor Martins, Gengoroh Tagame, Talia Hibbert, Mo Willems, and Geronimo Stilton (to name a few!) As an avid annotation enthusiast, William is drawn to memorable imagination, exploration and quote worthy writing.

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.
