Welcome to The Krista Goering Literary Agency, LLC!

We are currently looking for exciting new nonfiction projects by authors with a platform who wish to build a brand with multiple projects.

We are interested in nonfiction of all kinds, including

• Mind/body/spirit titles of all kinds
• Innovative health/wellness/nutrition/diet books
• How-to books of all kinds
• Self-help titles from top-platformed authors
• Anything that brings an innovative or fresh perspective or format to long-standing parenting topics
• Books related to college admissions or college survival
• Books about movies or TV
• Narrative nonfiction titles by platformed authors
• Interesting, nichey cookbooks

We are also actively looking for novels with emotional complexity, written by authors with unique voices. Books with humor, mystery, drama, romantic suspense--all types and tones can be right for us. If your manuscript is exciting, electrifying, and exceptional we want to know more.

What not to pitch: Poetry, short stories, novellas, plays, screenplays, essays

Occasionally we receive well-written manuscripts and proposals that we decline to represent. Besides being able to identify a good book, we must also feel passionate about the book or subject in order to go the distance with the project.

A publishing contract requires a long-term commitment.

If we work together, we are going to spend at least the next several months on your project and, if all goes well, perhaps the rest of your career.

We want to know that you, the writer, are in for the long haul. That you are up to the challenge. That you are prepared to revise your thinking and your proposal or manuscript as required. That you can persevere in the face of rejection. And that you are ready, willing and able to help promote the finished product.

After all, your success is our success. We don't get paid until you have achieved the success of your dreams.

To your success,

Krista Goering
