Send a Query to Joanna Volpe at New Leaf Literary & Media

View this agent's QueryTracker profile.
Hi, I am the President of and also a Literary Agent at New Leaf Literary & Media.

I represent all brands of fiction (commercial, literary and genre) and have a soft spot for speculative and/or fantastical elements. On the non-fiction side I tends toward all things geek-related, general pop-culture, pop-science and narrative non-fiction featuring interesting and powerful women. Across the board, I'm looking for anything that highlights under-represented voices, both real and fictional.

For more info on my clients, recent sales and forthcoming projects, please go {here}https://www.publishersmarketplace.com/members/Joanna/:

Please follow our {submission guidelines} https://www.newleafliterary.com/submissions/.

If you're unable to use QueryManager, please send your query to query@newleafliterary.com with my name and the category and genre of your work in the subject line (i.e. Query - Joanna Volpe - YA Fantasy).

Please do not query multiple agents at New Leaf at the same time. We do share queries internally, but you're always welcome to query another New Leaf agent if eight weeks has passed with no response from the agent you're currently querying (due to the volume of queries, we are unfortunately unable to respond to each one).

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to consider your work!

Best,
Joanna
