Agent, Fuse Literary
Sara Sciuto is an associate agent with Fuse Literary. A graduate of UCSD, she also completed literature coursework at NYU. Sara’s focus is on middle grade and young adult fiction; in particular, contemporary, historical, gothic/thriller/horror, sci-fi, mystery/suspense, fantasy and other speculative fiction. For YA she’s drawn to literary voices with commercial appeal (i.e. no chick-lit, please). For MG, she seeks everything from provoking historical to fun/silly adventure projects. She has a particular soft spot for gritty narratives, anything with international or regional locales, period settings, and anything with artistic themes.
Sara is also looking for standout picture books, especially those with a quirky or humorous narrative; and welcomes author/illustrators, as well as conceptual or art-driven projects. She’s also considering select adult non-fiction in the areas of craft, design, how-to, lifestyle, and pop culture. For children’s non-fiction, she’s open to a wider range of both narrative and prescriptive projects.
