Saritza Hernandez Literary Agent to Diverse Voices

Literary agents, to be honest, I haven't thought about submitting through the traditional route for years, as a result, I haven't considered a #literaryagent for my work. However, today's world makes me believe that this might be the time for me to stretch my wings and leave my comfort zone. And consider the world of a traditional publishing (along side self-publishing - that is!) What does that mean? #selfpublishing #traditionalpublishing

I reached out to literary agencies in an effort to learn more about how the publishing industry works. I wanted advice from a literary agent on the basics: literary agent query letters, literary agent rejections and which literary agents are seeking new voices. #literaryagentadvice

Saritza Hernandez has been a player in the publishing industry for 18 years. She has worked as a #literaryagent for eight of those years. Saritza agreed to have a conversation with me about the basics of the work done by a #literaryagent. During this literary agent interview, we discuss not only her work as an agent and why she represents the clients in her portfolio, but we chat about the state of the Romance fiction writing industry. She shares some insights and tips that I hope you will find interesting.

One tip she shared with us was the website Literary Agents of Color. For those of you who might be curious to learn more about some of the #literaryagentsofcolor who are out there actively seeking works of #fiction, check out this website: https://www.litagentsofcolor.com/
