Agent Spotlight & Agent Spotlight Updates
Agent Spotlights & Interviews were all edited in 2021. Every year since then, I update some of them. I also regularly add information regarding changes in their agency as I find it. I have been updated through the letter "N" as of 1/26/2024 and many have been reviewed by the agents. Look for more information as I find the time to update more agent spotlights.
Agent Spotlight: Chris Richman
Profile Removed 7/10/13.
Mr. Richman has left the publishing industry and is no longer a literary agent.
Casey, we don't know how you do it. This is another awesome post. It really helps send us in the right direction with the specifics about Chris' preferences, such as wanting twists. Thanks so much!
I love this feature of your blog. Now that I'm ready to query, I've been researching your past posts. What's funny is that I just queried Chris Richman last Friday - he's the first one I sent my query to. Sadly, my first 20 pages posted differently than I had copied them and they didn't double space. It looked awful, but I didn't catch it until I checked the 'sent' version. Oh, well. Hopefully he has good eyes!! LOL! :-)
I worked with Chris through two rounds of revisions and although he ultimately decided not to sign me it was a valuable experience and Chris was awesome to work with.

Mr. Richman has reviewed his profile. It should be accurate as of now.
Thanks for a great spotlight. I'm going to add Chris Richman to my list. He sounds like he'd be a great agent.

Per the Upstart Crow website, Chris is closed to submissions until further notice UNLESS you attended a conference where he was a faculty member.
This agent has left the business.
