Audrey Crooks is a literary agent at Trident Media Group. She joined the agency in 2020 after working at the Frances Goldin Literary Agency, bookselling, and from 2017-2018, living in Jordan, working for a nonprofit serving Gazan women refugees. Originally from Virginia, she lives in Brooklyn.
Examples of books she currently represents:
Great Black Hope by Rob Franklin, Good News by Alexa Brahme, and Happy Bad by Delaney Nolan.
Audrey is looking for:
Audrey is seeking literary fiction, grounded speculative fiction, story collections, international works, and upmarket and genre fiction with a literary bent. She is drawn to smart, voice-driven stories with a strong premise and a sense of humor and style. She welcomes the surreal and is excited by fiction that explores gender, language, identity, built and natural environments, and/or systems of power in creative and compelling ways. She's currently on the hunt for a literary love story in the vein of The English Patient, a sweeping family story that offers a window into a compelling history such as that in Flashlight; and quirky, heartfelt portraits of extraordinary characters like Beautyland. Other recent favorites include Loved and Missed, Trespasses, Heart the Lover, and The Ministry of Time.
For nonfiction submissions, Audrey is looking for select narrative nonfiction, cultural criticism, and human-centered journalistic deep-dives, with particular interests in food and dining, fashion, nightlife, dance, the cultures of the contemporary Middle East, and the American South.
Audrey is not looking for:
I do not represent any children's, YA, or New Adult literature, and I am not currently taking on memoir. I am not the right agent for hard sci-fi or high fantasy.
