Theampersandagency. Writers House - Submissions. Writers House represents fiction and non-fiction, for both adult and juvenile books. Our agents work with literary and commercial fiction, women's fiction, science fiction/fantasy, narrative non-fiction, history, memoirs, biographies, books on psychology, science, parenting, cookbooks, how-to, self-help, business, finance, young adult and juvenile fiction/non-fiction and picture books.
Please send us a query letter of no more than two pages, which includes your credentials, an explanation of what makes your book unique and special, and a synopsis. Also, please include a self-addressed-stamped-envelope for our reply, which generally takes six to eight weeks. We receive hundreds of submissions a month, all of which receive careful consideration. This takes time, so we encourage your patience. If we request your manuscript, we prefer that you send it to us on an exclusive basis. Please do not query two agents within our agency simultaneously. All queries may be addressed to: Curtis Brown LTD. Jita Fumich. Jita Fumich first began working with Folio in 2006. She has also worked with the editorial department at Berkley Books at Penguin and with Macmillan Publishers at their self-help podcasting website, and is currently the secretary for the AAR’s Digital Rights Committee.
She holds a B.A. from New York University and has taken classes at NYU’s Center for Publishing. Jita can’t think of any better industry to be in than publishing. Her favorite trips as a child were to the bookstore or the library, and she always tried to take home more books than she could carry. She is excited about being part of the magical process of making an author’s idea end up on bookshelves. As an agent, Jita seeks to work with her authors on all aspects of their career—understanding that being an author today involves more than just writing a great book, and being an agent involves more than just selling one. In addition to traditional agenting, Jita is the Digital Liaison at Folio. What I’m Looking For: FAQ. EDGE Submissions - Writer's Guidelines.
