ROZ FOSTER is a senior literary agent at the Frances Goldin Literary Agency. She joined the Goldin Agency in 2019 after spending more than six years as an agent with the Sandra Dijkstra Literary Agency. She’s interested in books that grapple with what it is to be human, books that confront vital human themes—morality, purpose, freedom, faith or its lack, hierarchy, success, violence, meaning, love, and death. She looks for stories that make sense of the chaos of life and the harshness of reality. She loves writing that has emotional depth, makes insightful observations, and demonstrates exquisite linguistic skill.

Roz is seeking literary and commercial fiction. She’s especially drawn to literary speculative and grounded sci-fi. She loves novels about the nature of consciousness, reality, existence, memory, and technology. She’s also looking for smart, literary supernatural, mystery, crime, and thriller. She enjoys dark and quirky, very human stories with big questions at their core. In nonfiction, she’s interested in history, narrative nonfiction, memoir, tech, science, and design.
