ANSELM ASTON - ATTICA BOOKS
"I am looking to build up active lists in fantasy, science fiction and historical fiction, including but not limited to: epic fantasy, science fantasy, space opera, historical fantasy, alternate history, historical, and historical crime. Wit, whimsy and humour are welcome, as are great sweeping epics (and if the two can be combined, so much the better). We're after books which are, above all, a joy to read".

 

MEG DAVIS - KI LITERARY AGENCY
"At simplest, I'm always happy to read a synopsis and three chapters of a novel. I'm not very good at representing non-fiction, so avoid it as much as possible so as not to cause any damage to anyone. Other blind spots are commercial women's fiction and literary fiction, so other genres are good".

ALEXANDRA PANZ - LYX VERLAG
For the moment, I'm looking for romance: paranormals, historicals and romantic suspense. In the future, we will be looking more for suspense novels, mysteries and thrillers rather than romance, but with a female protagonist. More Karen Rose than John Grisham.

CHRISTINE WITTHOHN BOOK CENTS LITERARY AGENCY
"I'm looking for: nail biting mysteries and thrillers that pull me in and don't let me go until the final page; romances that have me falling in love with the hero and cheering for the heroine; compelling women's fiction that makes me laugh out loud or cling to a box of tissue from my sniffles; and young or new adult that has emotion and angst coming off the pages in waves".

ELIZABETH KRACHT - KIMBERLY CAMERON & ASSOCIATED LITERARY AGENCY
"In fiction, I represent literary, commercial, women's, thrillers, mysteries, and YA with crossover appeal. I am intrigued by untrustworthy narrators, tragic tales of class and circumstance, and identifies with flawed and quirky yet sterling characters. In nonfiction, I particularly love voice- or adventure-driven memoir, and other nonfiction projects that contribute to the well-being of the self or others in addition to niche projects that fill holes in the market, offer a fresh approach, or make her laugh. I also have a soft spot for nonfiction heroic pet stories".

MICHELE ROSSI - RIZZOLI
"I'm not looking for half measures. It if's literary, make it literary all the way. If it's plot-driven, the plot has to astonish me. I'm looking for new women's voices, not just for emotionally-driven stories but for stories that also have specific historical ad social contexts. We have new lines on the way for high-quality books that entertain: historicals, mystery/thrillers. But they have to be absolutely original and irresistible".

FRANCESCA GAGLIARDI - GHENA LIBRI
"I'm looking for narrative non-fiction and fiction where the story contains within it an understanding of different genres. In fiction, I'm looking above all for cultural differences, cultural exchanges, areas where different cultures and gender differences meet and sometimes clash, both in working life and in daily life. Non fiction books must be based on the narrator who studies reality and bases his or her analysis of reality on his/her profession--whether psychologist, sociologist, analyst, etc.--or even simply on an understanding of reality as a man or woman who anchor their understanding of society or their gender on their own lives.
It's not enough for a book to talk about the female condition--the book needs to dig deep into gender differences, into clashes and into various types of conflict".

FEDERICA MAGRO - MONDADORI
"I'm looking for women's fiction--emotionally satisfying stories, including stories that are irreverent and steeped in irony. But above all--stories: gripping, well-developed plots, completely immersive reading, where you can lose yourself (and then find yourself again). In terms of books of interest to women, I'm willing to look at non-fiction, from parenting books to self-help".

LARA GIORCELLI - PIEMME
"I am looking for Italian and foreign books that provide great entertainment, both straight novels and genre novels--thrillers, historical fiction, women's fiction. Top quality fiction that grabs the reader because of the strength of the story. Whether set locally or on far-away worlds, we want stories where readers can recognize themselves or be transported to new horizons. Emotionally gripping stories".

CHIARA FERRARI  - NEWTON COMPTON
"I am looking for commercial women's fiction, historical women's fiction, historical thrillers, murder mysteries and police procedurals, YA (Particularly paranormal), historical novels. Non-fiction--controversial topics, investigative reporting, plus memoirs--particularly women's memoirs or historical memoirs".

ISABELLA SPANU - LEGGERE EDITORE
I am looking for all genres, from charming and fresh women's fiction to sensual exciting romance. I'd love to see exciting thrillers of all types, including noir, and horror. I'd love to take a look at a new type of Italian paranormal and issue-driven women's fiction that digs deep into human relations, providing a slice of real life and contemporary society. In short, what I am looking for are books you can fall in love with, share with others, books that make you dream and—why not?—make you think. 

MARIA PAOLA ROMEO - GRANDI & ASSOCIATI
 "I represent literary and genre fiction for adults, and YA and children's books. Non Fiction-I will look at essays, memoirs, both highbrow and lowbrow, humor and how-to. I rarely represent guidebooks or manuals. I do not represent text books whether secondary or university level or poetry".
