Profile

As a literary agent and a former publicist at Minotaur Books, St. Martin’s Press, and Penguin, Rachel has worked with a range of bestselling and award-winning authors to bring compelling voices to market and reach the widest possible audience. At Folio Literary Management, she focuses on transportive, female-driven commercial and upmarket adult fiction with a strong sense of place. She’s looking for fresh perspectives in areas of suspense, women’s fiction, and historical, with an accessible yet distinctive voice. She also represents a select list of exceptional YA and Middle Grade. She’s always looking for atmosphere, escapism, family secrets, lush locales, magical realism or speculative elements, and books that will keep her up all night.
