Literary Agent's Seeking Authors

3 New Agents Seeking Submissions NOW Click on any name below to see the full mini-profile on the GLA Blog (with submission instructions).  Good luck querying! 1. Leigh Eisenman of Hannigan Salky Geltzer (HSG) Agency She is seeking: Leigh seeks submissions in the areas of literary and commercial fiction for adults, and is particularly drawn to: flawed protagonists she can't help but fall in love with (Holden Caulfield was her  first crush); stories that take place in contemporary New York, but also any well-defined, vivid setting;  and given her background, novels set in law firms or involving lawyers (but not legal thrillers). On the  nonfiction side, Leigh is interested in foodie/cookbooks (especially baking and - maybe conversely - healthy cooking), health and fitness, lifestyle, and select narrative nonfiction. 2. Mitch Hoffman of Aaron Priest Literary Agency He is seeking: Mitch is actively building a client list of authors writing across the spectrum of fiction and nonfiction, including thrillers, suspense, crime fiction, and literary fiction, as well as narrative  nonfiction, politics, popular science, history, memoir, current events, and pop culture. 3. Alexa Stark of Trident Media Group She is seeking: Alexa's interests are wide-ranging, but she is particularly drawn to literary  fiction, upmarket commercial fiction, young adult, memoir, narrative nonfiction, popular science, cultural criticism and women's issues.
