Brenna English-Loeb (Agent)
THE REGISTRATION LINK FOR BRENNA ENGLISH-LOEB WILL ACTIVATE WHEN MANUSCRIPT MART REGISTRATION OPENS FOR GRUBSTREET MEMBERS ON TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, AT 1:00 PM EST.
Brenna English-Loeb works with authors of adult genre fiction and adult nonfiction, with select YA and crossover clients. She joined the Transatlantic Agency in 2019 after working for several years at Janklow & Nesbit Associates and Writers House, where she had the pleasure of working with New York Times bestselling and award-winning authors across multiple genres.
In nonfiction, Brenna is looking for serious, groundbreaking sociological work that holds our culture up to a magnifying glass, propulsive narrative nonfiction, and accounts of historical events and people that deserve to be better known.
For fiction, Brenna is looking for adult fantasy, science fiction, and mystery queries. In every genre she prioritizes beautiful writing, exciting characters, and thought-provoking world building. She gravitates towards relationship-driven plots with personal stakes, and she loves stories with a sense of fun and adventure, even if they’re tackling serious subjects. She is specifically looking for upmarket commercial works in the following subgenres: contemporary fantasy, secondary world fantasy, gothic fantasy, high concept space opera, horror, and modern-day classic mystery.
And in all categories, she is always looking for works by authors from underrepresented groups and identities..
