AEMILIA PHILLIPS

Aemilia Phillips is an agent at Stuart Krichevsky Literary Agency. She works with a range of fiction and non-fiction writers, including poet and National Book Award nominee José Olivarez, Founder of Latina Rebels Prisca Dorcas Mojica Rodríguez, speculative short story author Ruben Reyes Jr, true crime expert Sarah Weinman, and Olympian Cassidy Krug, among many others.

She is particularly interested in writers who push conventional boundaries in order to address cultural, political, and social justice issues. A dual Mexican/American citizen with family on both sides of the border and interests in journalism, narrative non-fiction, voice driven fiction, and poetry, she looks for diverse, smart writing with an impactful story to tell.

For non-fiction she’s looking for driven, obsessed writers and topics that challenge the way we think about the world, with a particular interest in Latin American and feminist voices. She loves books that at first glance appear to be commercial, but that are also smart cultural critiques that force readers to examine new viewpoints. She’s fascinated by darker, complex fictional characters who upend preconceptions and stories with just a touch of magic.
