Send a Query to Roz Foster at the Frances Goldin Literary Agency
Roz Foster joined the Goldin Agency in 2019 after six years as a literary agent with the Sandra Dijkstra Literary Agency. She holds a BA in English Literature from UCSD, an MA in English from Portland State University, and studied Philosophy at the University of Sheffield. She’s passionate about books that explore vital human themes—morality, purpose, freedom, faith, hierarchy, success, violence, meaning, love, and, of course: death.
She's looking for gorgeous prose, writing with emotional and intellectual depth, and perceptive voices that easily express truth, wisdom and insight.
Roz is seeking mostly literary fiction. She’s especially drawn to contemporary literary fiction and literary speculative or grounded sci-fi—i.e. rather than hard sci-fi or high fantasy. She’s also looking for literary supernatural, magical realism, fabulism, mystery, crime, and thriller. She enjoys dark stories with big questions at their core. Some authors she loves are Kazuo Ishiguro, Paul Harding, Elif Batuman, Katie Kitamura, Yōko Ogawa, Karl Ove Knausgård, and Rachel Cusk. In nonfiction, she’s interested in history, narrative nonfiction, tech, science, psychology and design.
