Happy October! We’re thrilled to announce our new agent at Full Circle, Taylor Martindale!Taylor began agenting with the Sandra Dijkstra Literary Agency, and prior to that, was the submissions coordinator at Bliss Literary Agency. She is a graduate of The College of William and Mary, where she studied English and Hispanic Studies.
Taylor is looking for young adult fiction across all sub-genres. She is interested in finding unique and unforgettable voices and characters that stay with you long after a story has finished. For contemporary YA, she would like to find both the uplifting/ romantic stories and gritty, harsh stories about the darker side of teen life. She loves working with multicultural projects that teach teens about other people’s lives – both at home and abroad. In paranormal/fantasy/urban fantasy, she is looking for new and intriguing concepts with characters who truly manage to make their worlds alive and engaging. She is also interested in select children’s picture books, light YA sci-fi and women’s fiction. More than anything, Taylor is looking for character-driven stories that bring the world vividly to life (whether it’s fantasy or not), and voices that refuse to be ignored.When not working, Taylor can be found traveling, cooking, spending time with loved ones, or (surprise!) lost in a good book.
We're thrilled to welcome Taylor and share this great news with writers – especially all of the young adult writers out there! As she is actively looking for new talent, you can read our FCL submission guidelines and reach out to Taylor at our FCL submissions email address noted in the guidelines. You’ll be hearing more from her on this blog. If you'd like to meet her personally, Taylor will be on faculty at the following conferences this fall:
Oct. 7-9, Pacific Coast Children's Writers Workshop -- Santa Cruz, CA
Oct. 15, Northwest Houston Romance Writers Conference -- Houston, TX
