When in doubt, simply send a query letter! Mandy will let you know if it’s right for her. MG or YA survival stories a la Oblivion Road, Hatchet, Etc. MG or YA with unusual formats or timelines Historical MG or YA inspired by or based on real life tragedies/historical events (Example: BETWEEN SHADES OF GRAY, CHAINS, etc). Unreliable narrators, mysteries and thrillers Historical or Contemporary romance for adults, the sexier the better. Contemporary romance (dark or light) with a great hook for YA Mandy will consider anything within MG, YA, and genre romance (NOT adult fiction with a “love story.”) Mandy maintains a Goodreads list for all of the titles she’s sold. Mandy still juggles writing with agenting, and wouldn’t want it any other way. By the end of 2015 she’d sold nearly 70 novels to major publishers, and was ready to launch Emerald City Literary Agency. The following year, she brokered her first six figure deal. Mandy joined D4EO Literary Agency in February of 2010, where she began building her list. A few months later she sold her first book in a 4-way auction. Soon, Mandy found that she was just as drawn to the business side of publishing as she was the creative one. She considered a career as a literary agent, and tested the waters by interning for an established New York City agency. The internship confirmed she’d found her passion, and soon after she sought out an agency interested in adding a new agent to their roster.

Her work has been translated into a half dozen languages and optioned for film. Her debut novel, Prada and Prejudice,was published by Penguin’s Razorbill books imprint in 2009, and went on to appear in TIME magazine and Entertainment Weekly. She has since written 10 other novels, published by Harlequin, Flux, and Bloomsbury. Mandy began her publishing career on the other side of the desk–as an author. Emerald City Literary Agency launched at the end of 2015, by agency founder Mandy Hubbard.
