Andrea Brown Literary Agency		https://www.saritzahernandez.com/ twitter: http://www.twitter.com/LitAgentSaritza

A Literary Agent at the Andrea Brown Literary Agency, I am a geek with a love for romance and science fiction novels. My love of great storytelling is what has driven my work in the publishing industry for the past 18 years, 10 of those as a literary agent. I love escaping into worlds and stories from all walks of life. A passionate advocate of the BIPOC & LGBTQ+ communities, I enjoy fresh voices in Adult, and Young Adult genre fiction, and select non-fiction. I represent writers and illustrators for middle grade, young adult, and adult (fiction and nonfiction) and when I re-open to queries, I will be actively building my list in the following categories: Adult fiction • romance • mystery • science fiction • fantasy • horror Adult narrative nonfiction • cooking books (not cookbooks) • parenting • humor Young adult and middle-grade fiction • contemporary/realistic fiction • romance • science fiction • fantasy • mystery • horror Young adult and middle-grade nonfiction • cooking books • humor • queer narratives • queer history Graphic novels • adult • young adult • middle grade (including nonfiction) Illustrators • middle grade • young adult • adult I also teach a 10-week course at the UCLA Extension on publishing for the Writing Department, speak at writer workshops across the country, and through my local library system in Orlando, Florida, and various "LitLando" writing community groups. I also participate in book events and am a member of the AALA.
