snippets from a literary/agenting life

Bio

Sara Sciuto is a member of Full Circle Literary. A graduate of the University of California, San Diego, Sara also completed literature coursework at NYU. Before joining Full Circle, she gained valuable experience working on film and foreign rights with the Taryn Fagerness Agency.

Sara is actively building her list with a focus on middle grade and young adult, in particular, dystopian, science fiction, fantasy, gothic/thriller/horror, historical, and unique paranormal. She also enjoys contemporary stories with a strong, authentic voice (but no chick-lit, please).

She has a particular soft spot for anything in the Deep South (sweet contemporary to dark paranormal), gritty narratives, anything with international locales or period settings, and anything with artistic themes.

Sara is also looking for standout picture books, especially those with a quirky or humorous narrative. She’s also considering select nonfiction in the areas of craft, design, how-to, lifestyle, and pop culture. Currently, she is NOT considering any adult fiction (all genres).

Her great passions in life are travel and good food—and good books, of course, but that goes without saying! While she’s always cultivating new obsessions, her latest are photography and sailing.
