Naomi Kanakia*
Naomi Kanakia is the author of two YA novels out from big five publishers, and their self-published cynical guide to the publishing industry.
A third novel is under contract and coming out in 2023. I also write essays, stories, and poetry that've appeared in Asimov’s, F&SF, Gulf Coast, West Branch, the LA review of books and dozens of other outlets. I write literary fiction, sci-fi, and contemporary YA. I’m repped at the moment by Christopher Schelling (he’s the third agent I’ve had in my career).
Age Category: Young Adult, Adult
Expertise: Querying agents is a big one. I know lots about agents in the literary and YA genres. I love discussing book pitches and potential comps with people.
