Send a Query to Samantha Fabien at Root Literary
Hi! Thank you for thinking of me for your project!
I represent high-concept, commercial, and upmarket fiction with all-or-nothing stakes that features diverse, marginalized, and/or underrepresented voices. While I do work in middle grade and young adult, I'm primarily focusing on growing my adult list and only accepting YA or MG clients by referral.
I'm particularly hungry for BIPOC and marginalized voices in fantasy, romantasy, thrillers, and horror. I'm also in the mood for fresh fantasy, haunting horror, the modern version of dystopian (think: The Grace Year and Divergent with more romance), and book club fiction with a speculative twist.
Please do not:
- query more than one Root Literary agent at a time.
- query with novellas, picture books, chapter books, graphic novels, memoirs, essay or short story collections, poetry, or screenplays, as I do not represent them.
- query the same project multiple times (within minutes/days, not including revisions or withdrawn and resubmitted projects) or query multiple projects at the same time
If you see an age range or category unavailable in the dropdown menu, it means I am currently or permanently closed to that age range or category. If you're looking for a comprehensive MSWL and anti-MSWL, please feel free to visit www.samanthafabien.com/mswl
I look forward to reading your material to see if we could be a fit! Thank you, in advance, for your patience as I work to carefully consider every query I receive.
