THE DAWNHOUNDS by Sascha Stronach
|
|
Art. Patience. Strategy.
My passion as an agent is strategizing profitable long-term careers with my authors. I want clients to love the books they write and make money writing them. Crafting that kind of balance between artistic and commercial success takes communication, teamwork and a focus on "Art. Patience. Strategy."
In terms of personality, I tend to be chatty with clients. I aim to set clear expectations and explain publishing processes so authors can focus as much as possible on writing. To that end, I communicate regularly and keep my client list small in order to support each author effectively.
I represent authors who write middle grade novels (all sub-genres), young adult novels (all sub-genres), romance novels (all sub-genres) and science fiction/fantasy for the adult market.
I try to answer professional questions as time allows on twitter @SaraMegibow
Cheers,
Sara

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
|
 |
|
Yes! I am actively acquiring!
Please contact me through Query Manager at: QueryManager.com/SaraMegibow
Instructions for submission are on that form - I will be asking for a query letter, the first chapters of your manuscript and your author website, if you have one.
If Query Manager is inaccessible, my email address is also accepting submissions at: saraquery@ktliterary.com
I read all queries myself and turn around time is roughly 5-15 days. All queries receive a response.
A book must be 100% complete and in one of the genres I represent (MG, YA, romance, SF/F) - please no picture books, memoir, commercial fiction, mystery or anything self-published. As long as it meets these requirements, bring it on! Always LGBTQIA+ friendly!
