SUBMISSIONS
There is currently a scammer emailing and calling authors using an email address and caller ID with Lighthouse Literary in it and impersonating an agent. We are not affiliated with this scammer in any way. Please do your research before responding to any offers of representation. NEVER send money to a literary agent. A reputable agent will never ask for money. We work on straight commission. Literary agents contract with authors before they prepare a submission for a publisher. There should not be ANY fees in your contract with an agent or a traditional publisher.
Lighthouse Literary represents PB, MG, and YA fiction and non-fiction, as well as adult fiction and non-fiction trade (topical/professional/inspirational) for both the Christian and secular markets. We do not represent PB artists.

I'm thrilled with the clients I have signed and have an obligation to keep them as my priority. At this time, I've decided to close to queries in order to do that. Occasionally, I will take pitches at conferences and open to conference attendees. I wish you the best as you search for representation elsewhere.

AS SHE TRANSITIONS FROM MARTIN LIT TO LIGHTHOUSE LITERARY, MARA NEEDS TO CLOSE TEMPORARILY TO QUERIES AS SHE GETS CAUGHT UP.
When she reopens, this is her wish list:
-Middle Grade: I enjoy spunky characters who are navigating life's changes with joy and humor. Seeking all genres except horror and high fantasy.
-Young Adult: I love believable characters who feel authentic in their interactions with the world around them. Dystopian, contemporary, and romance are some of my favorite YA genres, and I am currently not seeking horror or high fantasy.
-Adult Fiction: I am open to Christian fiction, new adult, women's fiction, book club fiction, contemporary, historical, and sweet romance. I love books with characters that make me laugh out loud, roll my eyes, or a mix of the two.
-Adult Nonfiction: I am seeking historical nonfiction, books that feature relevant topics for readers of today, and the occasional memoir if the author's platform is strong.
