Currently Looking For
Thank you for considering me in your query process. I’m actively building my client list and am eager to review your materials. I’m seeking fiction and nonfiction from Canadian, American, and international writers writing in English. I do not represent submissions created or assisted in any percentage by generative AI. I do not use AI to assess submitted materials. Having completed my internship under the CEO of The Rights Factory, I’m now building my list as an Assistant Literary Agent. Before pursuing publishing, I had a career in sales, culminating in the co-founding of a small executive recruitment firm. I’m a member of the Women’s Fiction Writers Association, having proudly served as its Vice President of Membership. I’m also a member of PACLA, the Professional Association of Canadian Literary Agents. I live north of Toronto in a quiet hamlet with my husband, sons, and vegetable garden. Please follow me on Instagram: @kristawhite_literary Fiction: upmarket and literary with elements of women’s fiction, romance, mystery/crime, book club, historical, religious/inspirational, humour, multicultural, mild speculative, adventure, military/espionage. In fiction, I’m drawn to upmarket and literary writing. If genre elements are incorporated into your upmarket and literary stories, all the better. An author’s voice is almost everything to me; I want to love what you have to say. Truth matters: I read to learn even more than I read to escape. I hunger for stories with a moral angle: a character seeking to determine what is good in a grey scenario, or a protagonist holding fast to what is right despite a grueling trial or temptation. I love narratives rich with psychological or philosophical insight, cultural nuance, and complex relationships. In other words, book club fiction: stories with social commentary that spark discussion. In large part I read for setting; I want to be transported all over the globe, to experience setting as a character, especially an antagonist. I’m a former executive recruiter, so I’m always eager for a workplace element. I love to read stories set in the past, present, and near future. One or two minor speculative elements are of interest if the stories are grounded in real life. Fiction I’ve Loved: General/Women’s Fiction – I enjoy narratives driven by characters seeking self-actualization and fulfillment. Relationships fascinate me—romantic, familial, friendships, co-workers—the more complex and nuanced the conflict the better. Some favourites in this genre: The Correspondent by Virginia Evans, The Paris Novel by Ruth Reichl, and the works of Ann Patchett, Elizabeth Strout, Jessica George, Amy Tan, and Taylor Jenkins Reid. Quiet Literary – Stakes don’t have to be loud to be riveting. Quiet novels often have me turning pages the fastest. I enjoyed The Anthropologists by Aysegul Savas, Seascraper by Benjamin Wood, The Children Act by Ian McEwan, Perfection by Vincenzo Latronico, Discipline by Larissa Pham, and everything wri
