Reminder: Newer agents are golden opportunities for new writers because they’re likely building their client list; however, always make sure your work is as perfect as it can be before submitting, and only query agencies that are a great fit for your work. Otherwise, you’re just wasting time and postage.
About Sara: Sara Sciuto is a new member of Full Circle Literary. A recent graduate of University of California San Diego, Sara also completed literature coursework at NYU. Before joining Full Circle, she gained valuable experience working on film and foreign rights with the Taryn Fagerness Agency. Her great passions in life are travel and good food – and good books, of course, but that goes without saying! While she’s always cultivating new obsessions, her latest are photography and sailing.
She is seeking: Sara is actively building her list with a focus on middle grade and young adult, in particular, dystopian, science fiction, fantasy, and unique paranormal. She also enjoys contemporary stories with a strong, authentic voice (but no chick-lit, please). She has a particular soft spot for anything in the Deep South (sweet contemporary to dark paranormal), gritty contemporary, utilitarian dystopias or dystopian thrillers, anything with international locales or period settings (think flappers or “Mad Men”), and anything with artistic themes. Sara is also looking for standout picture books, especially those with a quirky or humorous narrative. She’s also considering select nonfiction in the areas of craft, design, how-to, lifestyle, and pop culture. Currently, she is NOT considering any adult fiction (all genres).
How to submit: “We only accept electronic submissions. Send a 1-page query letter (in the body of the e-mail, no attachments please) including a description of your book, writing credentials and author highlights. Put ‘Query For Sara’ in the subject line. Following your query, please include the first TEN PAGES or complete picture book manuscript text within the body of the email. For nonfiction, include a proposal with one sample chapter. Please send your queries to: submissions (at) fullcircleliterary.com. (Queries sent to any other Full Circle Literary email address will not be read or opened.) Due to the overwhelming number of submissions we receive, we are only able to respond if we are interested in your project. If interested, within 6-8 weeks we will contact you to request additional materials (such as sample chapters or a complete manuscript).”
