New Literary Agent Alert: Quressa Robinson of D4EO Literary
Literary agent alerts (like this one with Quressa Robinson of D4EO Literary) are golden opportunities for new writers because each one is a literary agent who is likely building their client list.
About Quressa: Quressa Robinson joined the D4EO Literary Agency in 2016 and is actively building her client list. Quressa was an acquiring editor at St. Martin's Press, where she edited both fiction and nonfiction. Her acquisitions include Certain Dark Things (a Publishers Weekly Fall Announcement Top 10 Pick and October B&N Staff Pick) and The Beautiful Ones—both by Locus, World Fantasy, Sunburst, and Aurora Award-nominated author Silvia Moreno-Garcia; Spells of Blood and Kin (which received a starred PW review) by Claire Humphrey; and The Atlas of Forgotten Places by Jenny D. Williams, among others.
She is seeking: Science fiction/fantasy (including speculative/magical realism), nonfiction (celebrity, pop culture, pop science), upmarket and commercial women’s fiction, historical fiction, family sagas, contemporary young adult, and science fiction/fantasy young adult crossover. "I am particularly interested in OwnVoices and inclusive narratives. Genre bending is also great, i.e. epic fantasy romance or upmarket fantasy."
How to submit: Send all queries to http://QueryMe.Online/QueryQuressa. For fiction, the first fifty pages of your novel as a Word attachment. For nonfiction, the full proposal and sample chapters as a Word attachment. If the submission is a simultaneous submission, please indicate that in your query. No e-mail queries.
