Biography
Lindsay Davis Auld is a literary agent with Writers House. She says: “I started at Writers House in the West Coast office, and have worked with a wide range of New York Times bestsellers, award-winners, and debut authors and illustrators. After studying literature at Bowdoin College, I joined Teach for America before beginning my publishing career at Harcourt ChildrenÕs Books and then Writers House.
I’m particularly drawn to fantasy, mysteries, historical fiction, friendship stories, romance, magical realism, adventure, and books with humor–light or dark or both. I would also love to see manuscripts from diverse and underrepresented authors and artists. I’ve always been passionate about books, and, as an agent, I’m eager to help bring fresh voices, characters and stories to readers.
If you have a manuscript that you feel would be a good fit for me, please see my submission guidelines below–I’d love to hear from you.”
