This industry can be a mystery. We’re here to make it make sense—and open it up to you
We Believe In the Power of Stories—and the People Who Write Them
Folio Creative Management was born from a single belief:
We know the exhaustion of querying. The sting of silence. The ache of almost-making-it.
That’s why we built something different: an agency grounded in real relationships, editorial vision, and a relentless belief in what’s possible for the authors we represent.
We’re not just here to broker deals—we’re here to open doors, champion ideas, and walk beside our authors for the long haul.
From manuscript to media rights, from proposal to publication, we advocate with strategy, integrity, and heart.
Because we’re not just in the book business.
We’re in the author business.
Meet the Team Who Make It All Possible
Our agents and team members come from diverse backgrounds, but we share one thing: a deep, unwavering love for books—and for the people brave enough to write them.
