RED, WHITE & ROYAL BLUE by Casey McQuiston

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." 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. Cheers, Sara she/her Member of AALA, SCBWI and SFWA Always LGBTQIA+ Friendly! ---- Pinterest board of my middle grade and young adult clients: Middle Grade and Young Adult Pinterest board of my romance clients: Romance Pinterest board of my science fiction and fantasy clients: Science Fiction and Fantasy
