Melissa White is a literary agent with Folio Literary Management. She says: ÒWhat I love most about being an agent is finding new voices that can express something in a fresh way or new subject matter that makes me view the world differently, whether itÕs through fiction or non-fiction. One of the most thrilling aspects of my job is the constant exposure to a wide variety of topics; itÕs truly thrilling to play a part ushering innovative projects into the world.In addition to representing authors, I am the Director of International Rights at Folio and attend all the major international book fairs, keeping my finger on the pulse of what’s working in book markets worldwide.Ó
