Author-illustrators for PB/early readers, graphic novelists for middle grade speculative projects, young adult romcoms and horror/thrillers, and beautifully written adult horror or speculative fiction.
Straight historical fiction, sports stories without speculative angle, MG (selective, try colleagues first). Include trigger warnings.
Sandra Proudman is a literary agent at Gallt & Zacker Literary Agency who represents children's and adult fiction across multiple genres. She is also an author herself, having published works including Relit, The House Where Death Lives, and Salvación, which she uses to guide her clients. She is committed to diversifying her list and actively seeks marginalized and underrepresented voices, particularly from Middle Eastern, South Asian, South American, and Indigenous backgrounds.
I am currently closed to unsolicited submissions likely until the summer or early fall! Though this could change. Please keep an eye out here and on my Twitter account for updates! Although I don't have any triggers, please do include any trigger warnings in your query to me so I know what to expect. I really appreciate it! I am not the best fit for straight historical fiction or sports stories that don't have a speculative angle. At this moment, I am being incredibly selective in MG, so it might be best to try my colleagues at GZLA first!
