Her roster of authors includes international literary voices in any language, and literary fiction and non-fiction in English. She is particularly interested in voice-driven literary fiction, and select non-fiction (including cultural history, political reportage, hybrid memoir, literary criticism, and biography).
How to submit: Please send queries directly to Elianna at elianna@mmqalit.com. Please note that she only responds to queries in which she is interested. If you haven’t heard from her in 4-6 weeks, your project is not a good fit for her.
Lynnette Novak of The Seymour Agency
Prior to joining The Seymour Agency, Lynnette spent seventeen years freelance editing. She worked with new writers, advanced writers, as well as New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors. Lynnette earned a bachelor of education degree from the University of Manitoba, where she specialized in English and French. She excelled in Advanced Creative Writing in university and studied writing for children and teens through the Institute of Children’s Literature. She was a Pitch Wars mentor in 2015 and 2016. Both her mentees acquired an agent.
Although Lynnette was born and raised in Manitoba, Canada, she now lives in Minnesota with her husband, twin girls, and many pets. Her personal interests include reading, writing, exercising at the gym (okay, that’s a love/hate relationship), working on an assortment of crafts, all things having to do with animals (if she could own a farm, zoo, and animal shelter, she would), and enjoying time with family and friends.
What she is looking for: Adult: fantasy, thriller, contemporary romance, mystery, and sci-fi. YA: fantasy, sci-fi, horror, contemporary, thriller, and mystery. I love dark & twisty, light and funny, and stories with or without romance.
How to submit: Lynette is accepting submissions through her querymanager HERE.
