Got Book?
Aloha all: I recently re-connected with a friend of mine in NYC, Jaida Temperly, a smart, engaging, writer-focused lit agent at the New Leaf Literary and Media agency. She''s looking to build her list of authors.
I'm guessing some of you dream of publishing a book yourself (Right?!) If you've got a great, finished manuscript languishing in your desk drawer, here's your chance. Visit their website at www.newleafliterary.com and carefully read the submissions requirements.
Jaida is looking for middle grade and young adult titles, although she has a particular love for quirky, dark stories (The Mysterious Benedict Society, Coraline, Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library). For Adult Fiction, she loves those with strong mystery, high fantasy, or religious undertones (The Westing Game, A Discovery of Witches, A Game of Thrones, The Da Vinci Code). She’s also open to picture books by author-illustrators with completed dummies.
Don't be afraid -- I promise she won't bite, Despite working over-caffeinated hours in the uber-competitive Big Apple, she's originally from Wisconsin, with Midwest manners. With luck, you'll score representation and be off on a grand adventure; if you don't, you'll still come away feeling like someone took your dream seriously.
