WELCOME! I'm building my list in the NEW ADULT and ADULT fiction spaces and select nonfiction. NOTE that NA is a category (like Adult, YA, MG), and I accept NA in all genres. Please choose the specific genre your work falls under. If a genre is not available, I am currently not open to that genre at the moment. See my website for more details.

FOR FICTION: I’M CURRENTLY OPEN TO FICTION IN HORROR, MYSTERY, FANTASY, ROMANTASY, AND SCIENCE FICTION GENRES ONLY.
FOR NONFICTION: I'M CURRENTLY OPEN TO NONFICTION.

More about the genres I represent/wish lists: https://www.kfernandobooks.com/

Note that I do not represent children's books (Picture Books, Chapter Books, Middle Grade, or Young Adult).

PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME YOUNG ADULT (YA) - YA is an automatic pass since I do not represent it.

Additional Notes:

** For fiction, be sure your manuscript is complete and polished.
** For nonfiction, please submit a full nonfiction book proposal.
** Please only submit to one Olswanger literary agent at a time.
** I do not represent books that are AI-assisted or AI-generated in full or in part (AI = Artificial Intelligence). I believe wholeheartedly in genuine human creativity and original works that have not been mined from other hard-working authors.
** Note that I do not run any part of your project through any AI checker.

I look forward to reading your work and aim to respond within six weeks. If this timeline becomes longer, I'll update on Twitter & BlueSky. Thank you for your query!
