Context Literary is a New York City area (headquartered
on Long Island) literary agency, with four literary agents, three of whom are
looking for authors:
Tamar
Rydzinski is the president of
Context Literary. Her goal for her authors is to reach their audience
wherever they are, and she is proud of helping them stay ahead of the curve.
Tamar began her career at Sanford Greenburger Associates. She then joined Laura
Dail Literary Agency, where she became vice president and director of subrights.
Tamar is looking
for Middle-grade and young adult fiction and nonfiction of all types; adult
commercial fiction (political espionage is not a good fit); adult narrative nonfiction.
Query Tamar at: querytamar@contextlit.com
Paste 5- 10 pages of
text into the body of the email.
Monica
Rodriguez is a junior agent,
and like all new agents, she needs authors. Monica gravitates towards stories
about identity, family relationships, and travel. Like everyone else, she is
looking to uplift underrepresented voices, including, (but not limited to)
authors who identify as People of Color (BIPOC), disabled, neurodiverse, and
LGBTQ+.
In children’s
literature, she is actively looking for PB, MG, YA & Graphic Novels. She is
also open to adult and nonfiction submissions.
Query Monica at: querymonica@contextlit.com

text into the body of the email.
Kristina
Sutton-Lennon was named a Publishers Weekly
Star Watch Honoree in 2022. As Executive Director of Focused Artists, which she
co-founded, she served as a Talent and Literary Manager. Kristina has
worked as a Film/TV Agent. She is excited to build her list while
securing Media and Translation Rights deals for authors. She takes pride in her
diverse slate of content. Kristina earned her MFA from Louisiana State
University. She is a proud member of NALIP (National Association of Latino
Independent Producers).
Kristina is
drawn to upmarket fiction, Picture Books (especially illustrated), and nonfiction
self-improvement books focusing on mental wellness, career advancement and
motherhood. She is not a good fit for true crime or horror.
Like everyone else,
Kristina champions underrepresented narratives and is particularly scouting
multicultural content and Latiné voices.
