\u201cNo matter who you are, you\u2019ll always have a circle of friends in the writing community.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello Natalie, thank you so much for taking the time to talk with us today! We would love to know more about your history as an agent, your wishlist, and your advice for querying authors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q. What brought you to agenting?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found a job as a literary assistant somewhat by accident when I moved to Washington DC in 2007. I found a role on Craigslist with Muriel Nellis who runs Literary and Creative Artists Inc, a boutique agency that Muriel has had since the 1980s. Pretty much as soon as I learned what agenting was all about, I knew it was for me. I like to say that it was like a hundred lightbulbs going off in my head and in my heart \u2013 I knew this was going to be my career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve also always wanted to support creative arts from behind the scenes. I\u2019ve never wanted to be the talent in the spotlight. And so supporting authors was immediately appealing. The dignity of shaping the literary landscape and being in touch with talented writers before they make it big is a huge bonus. It\u2019s a magical and exciting prospect, the idea that I can discover new talent and help it along in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q. Any authors or books that have inspired you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I read along a vast spectrum of interests. When I was growing up, I read a lot of classic children\u2019s literature from Black Beauty<\/em> to everything Roald Dahl ever wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I got a little bit older, I started to get really interested in spirituality, theology and historical literature, and that\u2019s what I ended up studying at Georgetown. Anything that falls in that realm of mythology or history, or anything that brings those topics to a modern place is exciting to me. Later, the intersection of theology and literature really swept me away. I love writers who explore the world, nature, and history with an honest, even emotional perspective, like Annie Dillard or Jorge Luis Borges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m very inspired now by writers doing hybrid works \u2013 like essay collections that are also memoir, or literary novels that exploit genres, and story collections that play creatively with form. I think the most modern authors are blending forms, and it may take time for the industry and huge audiences to catch up, but that\u2019s where I think we\u2019re moving, and it gives me that \u201cshazam\u201d kind of joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q. What\u2019s at the top of your fiction wish-list? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m interested in beautiful storytelling that captures realistic life perspectives rather than, for example, superhero stories or really preposterous horror. Speculative fiction is a great genre because it takes real life and makes it weirder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like both literary and commercial works. I\u2019m especially looking for LGBTQ storytelling, international diversity stories, and any books that show me the world in an escapist kind of way. Action and adventure are also great. I\u2019m open to YA as long as it has a realistic, contemporary perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, modern mythology is a huge interest of mine. I love books that take popular myths, or cult classics, and give them a spin, or books that create their own myths or parables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I loved novels about animals as a kid (think Redwall<\/em> or Watership Down<\/em>), and I really want a novel about urban wildlife in our times. I witness hawks soaring over the Hudson River palisades almost every day, and I wonder what adventures they\u2019re having and what challenges they face living alongside humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q. What\u2019s at the top of your non-fiction wish-list?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In non-fiction, my list is wide, but it includes lifestyle, spirituality, personal growth and health. Sustainability is important right now \u2013 I\u2019m on the hunt for books about changing one\u2019s habits and making better choices, or books on how communities can be more sustainability-minded and disaster-prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also represent essay collections. I love personal writing that also deepens our understanding of broad subjects, and I like collections that have a nice, clear theme or narrative arc. Beyond that, I look for narrative nonfiction about history and literature, biographies, nature, music, pop culture, film history, writing craft, literary criticism, spiritual studies, occult books, food\/cooking, and travel. Creative nonfiction that plays with form and expectation is exciting, but it has to be carefully executed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q. Is there any genre you\u2019d rather not receive? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fiction, I stay away from fantasy and sci-fi with complex worlds or governments on other planets. I always find myself asking: but why?<\/em> I prefer things that are home-based and familiar in their worldbuilding. I don\u2019t represent picture books or middle grade either. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not going to rep political books, unless they are particularly anti-establishment. Politics (in the US especially) is so fraught and chaotic right now, so that\u2019s not for me. I probably wouldn\u2019t represent very heavy science or medical non-fiction, and I\u2019m not into memoirs about heavy trauma, addiction, or abuse. I don\u2019t find myself being caught up in really sad, awful personal stories, although I believe there\u2019s a market and audience for that. If someone can balance an outstanding, humorous voice with such a thing, it might shine through and pique my interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: What is a day in the life of an agent like for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I usually start my day reading new material from clients, or news and other updates on the publishing industry, and I love reading short form writing in lit and poetry journals. This helps get me into the right mindset for the day ahead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The middle of the day is usually for meetings and communication. I\u2019ll have a number of calls with editors, authors or publishers. The Rights Factory does a lot of mentoring, so I\u2019ll also be involved in regular meetings with our staff and with the two editorial assistants I work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then the rest of the day is filled with researching, creating submission lists, working on submission packages, doing developmental edits and creating proposals. By the afternoon, I hope to be properly in the zone where I have no distractions and can focus on submissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q. What do you want to see in a query letter? And what do you hate?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I appreciate a query letter that goes right into what the book is about. One tip I give authors is to pick out one of the most compelling quotes from their manuscript and put it in italics at the top of their query letter. Start with \u201cDear Natalie,\u201d and then hit me with that compelling line, followed by your pitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also appreciate letters that tell me enough about the author. I think a huge mistake authors make is not providing enough information about themselves, maybe because they\u2019re a first-time author without previous publications. But even then, there\u2019s a lot that can fill in the gaps: maybe what your hobbies are or your favourite literary influences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like it when I don\u2019t have to hunt down an author on the Internet. I always look into this \u2013 if I\u2019m interested in a writer, I\u2019ll search them up and see what their internet presence is like \u2013 do they have an author website, are they on social media, do they have articles or short pieces published, are they who they say they are? But I\u2019d rather be given that information upfront. It shows me that an author isn\u2019t hiding, and that they\u2019re willing to put themselves out there and get involved in the writing community and find their readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing I discourage authors from doing is padding out their query letter by stating the obvious. If they start with \u201cI am writing to seek representation from you,\u201d my response is going to be: \u201cWell, yes, I know that!\u201d It doesn\u2019t necessarily mean I\u2019ll turn down the query on that basis, but I\u2019d prefer authors to skip the obvious language and get straight to the point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q. Same question when it comes to the synopsis. What should writers do? What should they avoid?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I generally don\u2019t like to review synopses because I don\u2019t like spoilers, but I don\u2019t mind if an author wants to include one. I\u2019ll usually look at it later if I feel that I want more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q. What are you looking for in the opening pages of a novel? What really excites you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want to be immediately pulled into the action or the crisis of a book. For me, that\u2019s always better than setting up a lot of backstory. If I reach page 20 of a book and I don\u2019t know what the central conflict is, it makes it really difficult for me to keep going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authors can get really worried about how to do this effectively and the advice I usually give is to go with a prologue! Take some of the action from later in the book when the crisis is heavier, and present it upfront so the reader can become interested in how the story is going to reach that point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing that\u2019s an instant turn-off for me is a bad first sentence. I\u2019ve read beautiful query letters that made me so excited to jump into the book, and then the first sentence was something like: \u201cIt was a cloudy day and the rain fell on the street.\u201d I will sometimes turn away from a submission if I find those opening lines boring. On the other side of that, there\u2019ve been times when I\u2019ve prioritized a manuscript because the opening lines were so fantastic and gave me such a rush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q. What makes for a successful author-agent relationship? How can both parties get the most out of the relationship?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A relationship of trust and great communication is always necessary, and that means being able to check in with each other at any stage of the process and being open about any questions or conflict which may arise. I like to be in communication with an author and their editor throughout the production process. I always ask to be copied into emails discussing the material so that if any problems come up, I\u2019m right there, I know what\u2019s been happening and what\u2019s supposed to happen, and I can offer the best support possible. There are a lot of points in the process where an author might get anxious or stressed, and it\u2019s important for them to know that I\u2019m there for them and that we can work through those issues together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before I sign a new client, it\u2019s important for me to understand their vision. If I love a book but I don\u2019t quite understand the author\u2019s goals, whether for that book specifically or for their wider career, then I\u2019m probably not going to represent them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can create a more personal relationship than one might expect, but we\u2019re going to be working together to produce art that\u2019s going to go into the world and of course an author is going to have intense personal feelings about what they\u2019re creating. It’s my role to act as a friend and as a guide in that relationship, but it\u2019s also important to have clear boundaries: I have a general rule of not picking up unscheduled phone calls, or preferring that authors email instead of text, that sort of thing. It\u2019s all about maintaining respect for each other\u2019s space and time and accepting that often, things move slowly in publishing.   <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q. What\u2019s your favourite thing about being an agent?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being able to navigate any sort of crisis and stand up for an author when they need you. It\u2019s not just about discovering talent and telling an author that they\u2019re good enough, that their writing is good enough, that people want to read it \u2013 it\u2019s also about going through the process and experiencing the magic of creating something with them. When you hold a copy of the book for the first time or you see it in a bookstore or notice someone reading it on the subway, that\u2019s such an amazing outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think of authors in terms of their full careers. I\u2019m unlikely to bring someone on for just one book; the idea is that I\u2019ll be representing authors who will be writing for life. It\u2019s really wonderful to be a part of someone\u2019s career in that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People often criticise the book industry for being fraught with mystery and complications but it\u2019s a huge industry filled with wonderful people who love what they do, and it\u2019s a fantastic community to be involved with. That goes for anyone at any stage, whether you\u2019re starting reading and poetry groups at your local caf\u00e9, you\u2019re working for a small literary journal, or you\u2019re a big-name editor at a major publishing company. No matter who you are, you\u2019ll always have a circle of friends in the writing community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q. Tell us about a recent deal (or three) that really delighted you. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a couple of them! Firstly, there\u2019s Glory Guitars: Memoir of a `90s Teenage Punk Rock Grrrl<\/em>, which is a memoir about being a rebellious teenage girl and all of the debaucherous things teenage girls do, but also about the agency and awareness we have while doing those things. Gogo Germaine brings the most amazing humour and an explosive, youthful voice to her story which makes it feel universal to anybody who was rebellious growing up, to anyone who likes punk rock or grew up in the \u201890s. It\u2019s vibrant and hilarious and a little sad at points, but delivered with so much hope. We had a lot of editors who were really excited about Gogo\u2019s voice and we found the perfect match in the indie press University of Hell. Glory Guitars<\/em> will be coming out this Fall and I\u2019m so delighted to see it completed \u2013 it really was a dream process for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other book I\u2019m excited for this Fall is Please Wear Headphones: ASMR Guide & Coloring Book<\/em> by Sean Martines. There\u2019s a modern phenomenon and wellness technique called ASMR that\u2019s sweeping the globe, and this is a book that\u2019s written both for people who know what it is and people who don\u2019t. It\u2019s a colouring book with beautiful art matched to the different triggers of ASMR \u2013 there\u2019s a chapter for tapping, a chapter for whispering voices, a chapter for nature sounds \u2013 and the book points you to recommended ASMR videos to listen to as you color along. It\u2019s a really fun book that\u2019s all about mindfulness, self-care and creativity, and I think it\u2019s got a global appeal that\u2019s really exciting for me as an agent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q. What interests or passions do you have beyond the world of books? What do you love?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recently started a sconery! I got into baking during the pandemic and scones became my favourite thing, so now I bake scones out of my tiny kitchen and sell them mostly to friends and family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m a gardener too. I live in New Jersey so I\u2019m lucky to have a garden; it\u2019s an absolute joy to get everything into the ground early and then spend the summer tending to the plants and watching them grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also joined a film club at the start of the pandemic where we watched a movie every week, and a lot of those films have been silver screen classics. Getting into the history of film has been life-changing for me – I\u2019ve been introduced to so many films I would never have watched otherwise. Some favourites are Picture Snatcher<\/em>, The Scarlet Pimpernel<\/em>, Key Largo<\/em>\u2026 anything with Edward G. Robinson is almost always amazing, from Double Indemnity<\/em> and Little Caesar<\/em>, all the way through to Soylent Green<\/em> in the \u201870s. I think you can learn so much about that time period of film just by watching his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q. Any final words of advice for querying authors interested in a one-to-one?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My top tips would be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Use a compelling quote in your query letter so I can immediately get a sense of your prose.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Be careful not to self-praise your own book.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Provide enough bio information to give a sense of who you are, what your social media and web presence is like, and whether you have any previous publications or experience with the industry. Use hyperlinks where possible!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Be brief. Brevity is everything in this business. Try to distil your pitch to a short paragraph that tells me the main conflict of your book.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Lastly, I think a lot of writers can be so nervous when going through this part of the process. When you read about agents on the Internet, we can seem like mean gatekeepers, but that\u2019s just not the case \u2013 we\u2019re humans! Even if I don\u2019t go on to take on an author\u2019s work, I love being able to speak to them personally and help them understand that this is a friendly, collaborative community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
