Collins Literary is a boutique agency with a small and eclectic roster of clients. We are particularly excited to work with writers who dare to innovate, take risks, express something meaningful about our world. Our emphasis is on providing an array of services to our clients: from developing concepts and ideas to strategizing long-term career goals, editing and polishing a project prior to submission, selling foreign and subsidiary rights, brainstorming marketing and publicity plans; and advocating for our authors. We are especially passionate about discovering and nurturing new talent, for whom we work hard to procure and negotiate contracts and guide them through the bewildering publication process. Our interests include literary and popular fiction, including women’s fiction, African-American and international fiction. We are also seeking authors of nonfiction, including biography, history, economics, popular culture, cultural commentary, memoir, graphic novels, and humor.
