Established in 1990, the Kraas Literary Agency represents approximately 35 authors. Of our clients, 75% were new/previously unpublished. Many of these authors are now happily writing their 15th or so book for a major publishing house.

If this is you, please include the name of your book(s), the house, the editor and the year of publication(s) with your submission (click on the “submission” tab to see full details).

The agency currently handles about 2% non-fiction and 98% fiction. Irene is now looking for FRESH psychological and medical thrillers, some literary fiction and young adult material. Please do not submit any “refurbished” plot lines (i.e. no DA VINCI CODE-like stories, no HARRY POTTER-esque fantasies).
