Established agent closing to queries on Sep 1


On QueryTracker, Ann Rose at Marsal Lyon says: “I will be closing to queries come September 1st. I’m a little behind, and I like to read each query and respond so I need to catch up!”

The directions on QueryTracker say: “Please include the query, a 1-2 page synopsis, and below there is a place for you to upload your sample pages of either 3 chapters or the first 30 pages whichever is more.”

Ann Rose’s MSWL says she is looking for: “YA of all genres: But especially stories that have heart and humor. I want you to transport me to new worlds–even if those ‘worlds’ are in the middle of Iowa. But especially if its fantasy, I really want you to take me there and show me something I haven’t seen before. And I really am looking for a strong fantasy novel–one that will surprise me.”

This agent is also a novelist! On her agency page, it says “Ann Rose began her career in publishing as a literary agency intern in 2014” and “When not agenting you’ll find her on her elliptical, sleeping, or writing her own novels . . .”

Promoted to literary agent at Folio


In July, Hannah Teachout wrote on Instagram: “so excited to officially announce that i’ve been promoted to literary agent at @folioliterary and celebrating by opening to queries TODAY!”

Her page at Folio Literary says that she “began as an intern at Folio in 2023.”

On her Publishers Marketplace page it says: “I love a good adventure on and off the page, but especially the stories that dig into themes of identity and explore the metaphors of magic and monsters. I work on Middle Grade, Young Adult, and Adult fiction across genres and love a speculative or romantic bent and distinct voice.”

There are also “Titles/authors I’ve loved” and “A few super-specific things I’d love to see” as well as a note at the bottom of the Publishers Marketplace page that says: “I strive to respond to all submissions, but if you have not heard back in 8 weeks you may consider it a pass.”
