SJGA >> the agents >> Faith Hamlin



	Faith Hamlin Faith's eclectic list is primarily non-fiction. It includes books by experts in medicine, health, psychology, psychiatry, science, journalism and parenting, as well as in biographies, memoirs, books on sports, business and the arts. She handles a select number of adult mystery writers and children's books, including those of bestselling illustrator Robin Preiss Glasser and writer Doreen Rappaport. An agent for more than 20 years, she began her publishing career managing bookstores, and worked as a sales rep for a number of publishers before becoming sales manager of Macmillan Publishing Company, which included Scribner, Free Press, and Atheneum, as well as a large children's publishing group. Faith offers her clients a special advantage because of her sales and marketing background and is known for being direct and supportive, but always with a sense of humor. She looks for strong credentials, an original point of view, and either excellent writing skills or a willingness to work with an experienced writer. She prefers to receive submissions via e-mail at fhamlin [at] sjga [dot] com.
