THE TOURIST ATTRACTION by Sarah Morgenthaler

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 novels for the adult market. Please no picture books, memoir, commercial fiction or mystery. A book must be 100% complete and never previously published in order to query and as long as it meets these requirements, bring it on! I read all queries myself and am actively acquiring. My query email address is saraquery@ktliterary.com and my turn around time is roughly 5-14 days. All queries receive a response. I try to answer professional questions as time allows on twitter @SaraMegibow Cheers, Sara Always LGBTQIA+ Friendly! ---- Pinterest board of middle grade and young adult clients: Middle Grade and Young Adult Pinterest board of romance clients: Romance Pinterest board of science fiction and fantasy clients: Science Fiction and Fantasy
