Gary Heidt is a literary agent with Signature Literary Agency. represents authors of nonfiction and fiction. In nonfiction he is interested in history, science, popular culture, narrative nonfiction, psychology, religion, and spirituality.

Fiction IÕm looking for now: High-quality literary fiction, science fiction and the occasional thriller. No historical fiction, mysteries, fantasy, cozies or romance. Not that I don’t like them, I just don’t represent them.

In non-fiction, IÕd like to find the following:
¥ History and biography. I am looking for authors with credentials as academics, journalists or independent scholars with some publication credits.
¥ Science. I am actively looking for scientists with writing skills who can explain new developments in science to a popular audience, as well as journalists who write about new developments in science and technology.

I am also interested in exceptional nonfiction proposals in the following areas: reference, pop culture, memoir, politics, cultural criticism and Fortean/High Strangeness/paranormal, or deep politics.
