Send a Query to Sarah Gerton at New Leaf Literary & Media

Hi! I'm an Associate Agent here at New Leaf Literary, seeking fiction and select narrative nonfiction for middle grade, young adult, and adult readers. I welcome YA and MG submissions of all genres; on the adult side, I'm primarily interested in sci-fi, fantasy, and horror. Across the board, I love unforgettable characters and striking prose.

For more on what I'm looking for, please see my Manuscript Wishlist: https://www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/sarah-gerton/

When submitting your project, please follow our submission guidelines: https://www.newleafliterary.com/submissions. If you're unable to use Query Manager, please send your query to query@newleafliterary.com with my name in the subject line.

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 considering me for your work!

All best,

Sarah
