Here are five new agents actively seeking writers.

Alice Fugate is looking for children’s books and select adult projects.

Ernie Chiara wants adult science fiction and fantasy and magical realism.

Michelle Hauck is taking submissions for middle grade, young adult, and some limited adult genres.

Chelsey Emmelhainz is focused on commercial, diverse voices in fiction and nonfiction. She is especially interested in young adult, and adult fiction that marries the known and the unknown or those that explore the fantastic in the everyday world.

Caitlin White is now open to select submissions in YA and MG fiction.

Jessica Saint Jean is looking for illustration portfolios and illustrated stories across all children’s lit genres, from board books to YA graphic novels.

Always check the agency website and agent bio before submitting. Agents can switch agencies or close their lists, and submission requirements can change.
