Click on any name below to see the full mini-profile on the GLA Blog (with submission instructions). Good luck querying! 1. Kemi Faderin of Dystel & Goderich Literary She is seeking: She is interested in anything different and original, but especially in smart, plot-driven YA, historical fiction / nonfiction, contemporary women's fiction, and literary fiction. 2. Stephanie Fretwell-Hill of Red Fox Literary She is seeking: Stephanie represents both authors and illustrators of board books, picture books, middle grade, and young adult. She will consider stories in any genre, but looks for a strong voice, rich and multi-layered plots, and stylish, classic, or quirky illustrations. Most of all, she loves anything that really makes her laugh. 2 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. Danielle Barthel of New Leaf Literary & Media Danielle is seeking: Upper middle grade, YA, adult, and nonfiction manuscripts. She'd love to find an amazing MG epistolary, engrossing YA realistic contemporary stories like THIS IS WHAT HAPPY LOOKS LIKE and ANNA AND THE FRENCH KISS, well-crafted fantasies, and retellings that truly twist a story from its original version. Adult family dramas akin to THIS IS WHERE I LEAVE YOU and upmarket women's fiction are also high on her wish list. A strong romantic subplot, especially with expertly crafted tension, is never a bad thing, and she's particularly fond of historical romance (especially set in England). For nonfiction, she's excited about unique and poignant lifestyle and cookbooks. 2. Tanusri Prasanna of Hannigan Salky Geltzer She is seeking: She is interested in all sorts of kidlit, ranging from picture books and middle-grade to YA (including YA/Adult crossovers). Tanusri is drawn to storytellers who deftly inveigle readers into their intricately-crafted plots with great voice and a touch of humor, and to writers with a vivid sense of the absurd. And while her primary interest is kidlit, she is also open to selective domestic suspense (Tana French and Sophie Hannah are two of her favorite authors in the genre) and voice-driven narrative nonfiction on social justice issues.

It has been a while since I made a post. I am busy working. Occasional I take time to post info from my Inbox.

Some of you have sent emails asking are there any new script agents seeking writers. I've been keeping an eye out. All the new agents I've heard of so far are literary agents. To bad they don't do screenplays.

( If you are not able to pay in full, the payment for any service can be made on installment - divided in half. If you would like to use my service, let me know whether you need  to pay on installment or can pay in full. I am willing to be flexible.)

Some people request edits and critiques together. If a writer wants both, to me this says the writer is not completely confident his or her script is ready. So I  recommend getting the critique first. Use the critique to redo the script. Once the script is just right, then request the edit.

However, there are script, screenplay, writers who insist on having both an edit and critique together.  So I offer an edit and critique combo at discount.

Edit &Critique Combo Discount: $66.00   This is a discount savings of $40.00

All payments are received by Paypal. If you cannot make Paypal payments you may mail payments in the form of cashier checks or money orders. NO personal checks
