Brittany Booker
Thank you for following up with us! We’ve
had such an amazing year! I’m not even sure where to begin. Jordy and I started
The Booker Albert Literary Agency a year ago. I have no idea where this year
has gone. This first year has been amazing for both Jordy and myself. Starting
your own business is always a big step. I don’t think I could have asked for a
better experience with this. I love my job, and I’m thankful to be able to do
this for a living. There are so many people that don’t get to do what they love
every single day. I thank God for giving
me this opportunity.
So, I guess I’ll go ahead and say that I’m
up to seventeen clients. I love each and every one of them. It’s so amazing to
find authors that have such great talent. And I feel every single one of mine
has something to bring to the table. I’ve been blessed to sell some of those
clients’ books this year. I’m so proud of my deals. It’s an honor to work with
the editors that I have so far. I’ve sold to Random House (Flirt), Simon &
Schuster (Pocket Star), Month9Books (Swoon Romance), Crushing Hearts and Black
Butterfly Publishing and Penguin (Berkley).
This first year has been stressful, I won’t
lie, but it’s the large to-do lists that keep me going. It’s all about
prioritizing your time. On the other hand, it’s about giving yourself time to
relax and not let the work consume you. It’s so easy to get sucked in and
several hours pass by without you realizing it.
My
genres have definitely changed now that I’m interacting with editors and
keeping up with what’s in and what’s out. I’m looking for any genre New Adult
(especially contemporary ones with hot heroes. Wink. Wink). I’m looking for
clever, witty and fun MG novels. I love any book set in the south with a
romantic plot. In fact, most of the novels I represent have romantic elements.
I’m a happy-ever-after kind of agent. You can find out more about us, our deals
and our wonderful clients on our website!

I am actively
seeking clients. Please check our website for details. I’m pretty much open to
all genres, but I am especially looking for YA with a strong romantic element,
or New Adult and Adult romance. I hope to hear from you!
