THE FOUNDER
HELLO, I’M FERNANDA
I am a writing coach and publishing professional with several years of experience in various areas of publishing—from editorial to scouting.
I founded Fernanda Literary Services after reading seeing many talented writers slip through the cracks because of saturated submission inboxes, archaic querying processes, and a lack of support for emerging writers.
I believe that writers work best when they receive the support they need right from the start. So, I made a new kind of agency—one that guides potential authors through the creative process, in addition to providing traditional literary agent representation—with an emphasis on innovation and personalized attention.
early mornings • blank pages • fine-point pens • gentle sunlight • hot coffee • happy plants • cozy blankets • gin martinis • captivating reads
A FEW THINGS I LOVE…
THE AGENCY
OUR SERVICES
-
A writing coach helps writers develop their projects from beginning to end.
They provide technical guidance and support throughout the writing and self-editing process by providing detailed feedback and helping the writer address areas of concern in their writing.
-
An agent represents the author's interests to publishers seeking to acquire their work.
They build interest in their clients’ projects, negotiate contracts on their behalf, and help authors make sense of the more complicated parts of publishing, such as royalties and subsidiary rights.
