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.”

Editors are counselors


“Editors are counselors and can do a good deal more for writers in the first-draft stage than at the end of the publishing process.” –John McPhee

This quote from John McPhee’s Draft No. 4 book sums up how I have been working as developmental editor since 1999. You know your book best! It’s my job to help you discover your story.

If you’d like to talk to a developmental editor as you write your children’s novel this semester (Aug 8 – Dec 18, 2026) we can do that with lessons on a private site and EIGHT virtual mentor meetings.
