Sophie Brett-Chin is a literary agent with Folio Literary Management. She assists Jeff Kleinman and Steve Troha, while also actively building her list. Prior to joining Folio, she received her MFA in Nonfiction from Columbia University.

In nonfiction, sheÕs looking for narrative nonfiction across a variety of categories, including niche/overlooked histories; pop culture; memoir; and cultural criticism.

In fiction, sheÕs drawn to propulsive plots that are beautiful on a technical and craft level, including big-hearted novels about family and/or coming of age; upmarket and literary thrillers; and upmarket horror that uses and subverts the genreÕs tropes to probe larger societal issues.

In all genres, Sophie has a continuous soft-spot for works that interrogate adolescence, Ñ specifically teenage girlhood, treating this liminal and weird time with respect and levity Ñ as well as anything that explores religion and ritual; and books about the ocean.
