SUSANNA EINSTEIN

A white woman with shoulder-length white hair.

Susanna Einstein (she/her/hers) has worked as a literary agent since 2005 and launched Einstein Literary Management in 2015. She has worked in publishing since 1995, first in the publicity and editorial departments at what was then called Warner Books (now Grand Central Publishing) and then as a literary scout at Maria B. Campbell Associates. A native New Yorker, she graduated with distinction from Northwestern University. She lives in New Jersey with her husband and two children.

Susanna Einstein is an enthusiastic member of the Association of American Literary Agents. She has a particular fondness for crime fiction, upmarket commercial women’s fiction, Middle Grade and Young Adult fiction, and narrative non-fiction. Some representative clients in those areas are Ree Drummond, David Ellis, Jennie Fields, Rachael Herron, Emmy Laybourne, Sarah Seltzer, Daniel Stashower, and Kitty Zeldis. She likes a good story, well told.

WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR

I would love to find more crime fiction, particularly by women or marginalized writers. I'm also always searching for upmarket commercial fiction/"book club" fiction.
