Linnan Literary Management is a boutique agency specializing in graphic works and illustration, in addition to select prose works in adult, YA, and middle-grade fiction and nonfiction. Prior to launching her own agency, Jen worked at Sanford J. Greenburger Associates, handling international rights for several major agency clients.

No website yet, but see Jen Linnan's page at Publishers Marketplace here.

"I'm a passionate reader of many things: cereal boxes, Facebook status updates, knitting patterns, dialogue trees in videogames, Wikipedia... oh, and books. Possibly yours!" says Jen.
"I'm actively seeking clients in the genres below. More specifically, I love a story that demands my attention, pulling me out of my reality and into another, forcing me to put down my computer, silence my phone, and fully immerse myself in its pages. Whether it's powered by inventive world-building or meticulous journalism, set in Oz, Dublin, or the apartment next door, composed of a few paragraphs or thousands - those things are up to you ... and if you have copy that blows "Snap, Crackle, Pop!" out of the water, let's talk."
Jen is interested in:

Graphic fiction/nonfiction Illustration Women's fiction Historical fiction Mystery Thrillers Narrative nonfiction

Memoir Young adult Middle grade Pop culture Food Humor
