Folio Literary Management, LLC, is a full-service literary management company with offices in New York City and Washington D.C. At Folio, we're dedicated to providing comprehensive representation and career management to authors. Like other literary agencies, we focus on selling the domestic and subsidiary rights to our clients' books. But unlike most other agencies, we don't consider our job done when a client's book hits the shelves. We also offer a comprehensive set of marketing, PR and related services to our authors:

* We have, on-staff, a Marketing Director to help our authors and their publishers promote their books to as wide an audience as possible.

* Our Director of Speakers Services arranges speaking and reading engagements for our authors.

* We also have associations with Licensing Agencies to sell subsidiary products.

I'm a founding partner of Folio Literary Management, LLC. A graduate of Case Western Reserve University (J.D.), the University of Chicago (M.A., Italian), and the University of Virginia (B.A. with High Distinction in English), I’m a literary agent and intellectual property attorney (although now my practice is almost wholly agenting). At Folio, I’m having a great time: learning about an incredibly variety of new subjects; meeting an extraordinary range of people; and feeling, at the end of the day, that I’ve helped to build something – a wonderful book, perhaps, or an author’s career.

For international rights, please contact Celeste Fine (cfine (at) foliolit.com).

Effective immediately (and no matter what you read anywhere else), I'm no longer accepting hardcopy submissions. Please contact me by email only.

In the subject line, try to make it clear this is a submission -- maybe include your name and the title of the work; or "Query," or something along those lines. Like everybody else these days, I'm besieged with spam and junk email - a lot of which I delete unopened. I don't want to delete your email by mistake, so try to make it clear that you're contacting me requesting that I review your project.

Please email your cover letter and paste in the first page or so of your material at the bottom of the letter (no attachments, please).

I generally try to respond to all my email in a couple of weeks, so if you haven't heard from me in a couple of weeks, please send a follow-up email -- just in case your email got lost in cyberspace.
