Lauren Ruth is no longer a literary agent. She’s an assistant publisher for four digital-only imprints including Entangled Publishing, Covet, Brazen, Bliss and Scandalous). Do not query.
It's been a long time since I've looked at anything agenty, and this was really interesting. Thanks for taking to time to put this excellent profile together.
Thanks for the spotlight. I queried her the other day . . . before I discovered her slow response time. Even for requests, you're looking at about a 3 month wait (according to QT data).
Thanks, Casey, for posting this profile =)
ReplyDeleteAlways nice to discover new agents on the rise. Thanks, Casey!
ReplyDeleteLauren sounds like an awesome agent. Thanks Casey for another great spotlight.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for your research and support, Casey!
ReplyDeleteGreat interview, lots of info. Thank you Casey!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone!
ReplyDeleteThanks for another great spotlight. It's always interesting to read about the agents who are just starting out.
ReplyDeleteAlways great to hear from a new agent!
ReplyDeleteBut in her interview she says she reps science fiction, but then later it says she doesn't rep science fiction. Which is right?
Charlie,
DeleteShe's no longer accepting sci-fi. She was considering it last year but has narrowed her interests a little.
Nice to know, thanks!
DeleteGreat post! Bookends, LLC is a great agency. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is so awesome, Casey. I always check here before querying anyone. Amazing resource.
ReplyDeleteJust one update: Lauren's blog has moved to Wordpress: http://slushpiletales.wordpress.com/
Did I link the wrong one somewhere? Will find and fix, thank you!

ReplyDeleteLauren Ruth has disappeared from the BookEnds website. Is she no longer agenting?
