Emily Roberts

Emily Roberts is an independent literary agent who is passionate about helping authors transform great ideas into successful publishing careers. She believes that every compelling story deserves the opportunity to reach its audience, and she is committed to guiding writers through each stage of the publishing journey with honesty, professionalism, and personalized support.

With experience in manuscript development, publishing strategy, and literary representation, Emily works closely with both first-time and established authors to refine their work and identify the best opportunities for publication. From evaluating manuscripts and providing editorial guidance to submitting projects to publishers and negotiating publishing agreements, she advocates for her clients with dedication and care.

Emily understands that no two authors have the same goals. Some dream of seeing their first book on bookstore shelves, while others are building long-term writing careers or exploring opportunities in foreign rights, audiobooks, or film and television adaptations. She takes the time to understand each author’s vision and develops a strategy tailored to their individual aspirations.

Her interests span a wide range of genres, including commercial and literary fiction, mystery, thriller, romance, fantasy, science fiction, historical fiction, memoir, self-help, business, leadership, personal development, and select children’s and young adult titles. She is especially drawn to manuscripts that feature memorable characters, compelling storytelling, and ideas that leave a lasting impression on readers.

Clients appreciate Emily’s thoughtful communication, editorial insight, and collaborative approach. She values strong relationships built on trust, transparency, and mutual respect, believing that the best results come from working closely with authors as creative partners rather than simply acting as their representative.

As an independent literary agent, Emily is dedicated to connecting exceptional manuscripts with the right publishing professionals and helping authors build meaningful, lasting careers. Whether working with a debut writer or an experienced author, her goal remains the same: to champion stories that inspire, entertain, and make a lasting impact.
