I am a literary agent in New York City. I keep a blog at JetReidLiterary.blogspot com that answers questions from writers and allows me to rant on things that drive me crazy in publishing and reasons I love my job and the city.
I also run QueryShark.blogspot.com a blog that posts (with permission) and critiques queries and revisions from writers. To submit a query click on the link "how to submit a query to the shark." It's all volunteer.
My clients include New York Times bestselling Patrick Lee (The Breach series and RUNNER); Jeff Somers (WRITING WITHOUT RULES); Bruce Borgos, Dana Haynes, James Byrne, Stephanie Jaye Evans, Mette Ivie Harrison, Thomas Lippman, Hilary Holladay, Gary Corby and Phillip DePoy.
You can subscribe to my newsletter about clients here.
My list is largely crime novels and thrillers, and narrative non-fiction in history and biography.
I'm a member of AALA (formerly AAR); Mystery Writers of America (NYC chapter); International Thriller Writers; Sisters in Crime; Biographers International Organization; the American Historical Association; the Organization of American Historians; and the Western Association of Women Historians.
One of the ways I coped with the pandemic was to give money to people doing good works.
