Savannah Brooks 13

An agent with kt literary (see other agents at this agency).

About

Savannah Brooks started in agenting as an intern with the Jennifer De Chiara team in 2017, moving to associate agent in 2018. In 2022, she joined the incredible team at KT Literary as an agent, where she represents all of kid lit and adult contemporary fiction, romcoms, thrillers/mystery/suspense, and horror. She’s especially interested in stories that teach her something new, add to a larger sociopolitical conversation, and highlight underrepresented identities and cultures. She earned her MFA, focused in creative nonfiction, from Hamline University and her BS in marketing management from Virginia Tech. As well as agenting, she works as a teaching artist at the Loft Literary Center, and she worked on the editorial side of publishing for two years prior to joining JDLA. She lives in Minneapolis and can regularly be found at one of Minnesota’s 11,842 lakes—yes, even in winter.

United States Agent since 2018

Fiction Open

I am very selective about taking on fiction works for adult audiences, but when I do, I look for contemporary fiction, thrillers/mystery (NOT law-enforcement focused, including FBI/CIA), horror, and romcoms. I'm always looking for works that walk the line of being funny while still adding to a larger sociopolitical conversation, and I would love to hear more from marginalized voices, regardless of whether or not marginalization is a central theme.
