Jacqui Lipton founded Raven Quill Literary Agency in 2020 and is happy to return to the helm after spending several years as a Senior Agent at The Tobias Literary Agency. She loves all things books and publishing and has been an avid reader since elementary school. Her tastes were always broad and eclectic. She loved (and still does) reading everything from a good murder mystery to space opera to contemporary romance and everything in between.
Jacqui represents authors of fiction and non-fiction from middle grade through to adult, as well as selected projects for younger readers (picture books, chapter books etc.) She is currently particularly interested in platform-driven nonfiction with a compelling narrative voice as well as mysteries with unique protagonists/settings, compelling plots and high stakes. She is not currently seeking high fantasy, and considers science-fiction selectively.
