Jackie Kruzie is a literary agent with Focused Artists. I have been a book lover for as long as I can remember so naturally, I pursued a career in books.
I earned a Master of Library Science with an emphasis in literature and my experience in school and public libraries reinforced my belief that books have a lasting impact on readers and sparked a desire to become a published author. I fell in love with the publishing process and transitioned from writing books to having a voice in what stories get published.
I became an editor for a small press acquiring picture books and early readers with a STEM focus before participating in a six-month internship at Olswanger Literary. After completing my internship, I accepted a position with Focused Artists representing children and adult titles. Adult Fiction :.
I love supernatural and paranormal stories where characters must keep their abilities hidden as they strive to right wrongs and exist in a world where fear of the unknown and misunderstood is prevalent. I have a soft spot for historical fiction with dual timelines where events from the past impact the present.
I am a sucker for stories with a romantic element and enjoy when budding romances develop organically throughout the story. I would love to find characters with series potential where the story changes but the characters remain Agatha Christie is one of my all-time favorite authors so think Miss Marple.
