Savvy Literary Services is a Houston-based literary agency that specializes in the Latino book market. The main focus of this agency is to offer professional literary representation to Latino and other minority writers because they are among the most misrepresented in the publishing industry today. While the agency's prime directive is to help Latino authors get published, non-Latino writers are represented as well.
Before Savvy Literary Services came along Latino authors wishing to be represented and published in English and Spanish had to seek this kind of specialized representation outside of the U.S. Authors of Latin descent who reside in Mexico, Central, and South America wishing to break into the U.S. market can now count on Savvy Literary Services to guide them on their journey. Since it's inception in January of 2007, Savvy Literary Services has had the distinct privilege of representing talented and up-and-coming Latino and other ethnic authors in various genres. Approximately 50 percent of the authors represented by Savvy Literary Services go on to have their works published traditionally.

"Leticia Gomez is the kind of literary agent most writers only dream of having-talented, dedicated, and willing to stick with you because she believes in your work. I am thrilled and grateful to have her as my agent.
Paula Meseroll author of Little Hot Mama
"On a scale of one to ten, I would rate Leticia Gomez and Savvy Literary Services an eleven. Leticia is hardworking, professional, and, equally important, she keeps me in the loop. Savvy reps my middle-grade Andy Sweet Adventure series and my YA novel Voices of the Locusts. I can't say enough good things about Ms. Gomez.
Ron Hutchison author of Voices of the Locusts, The Andy Sweet Middle-grade Adventure Series and creator of The Sixth Sense psychological board game.
