Kimberly Brower

About Kimberly

Kimberly fell in love with reading when she picked up her first Babysitter’s Club book at the age of seven and hasn’t been able to get her nose out of a book since. She holds a BS in Business Administration from California State University, Northridge and received her JD from Loyola Law School, Los Angeles. Although she loves all things romance, she is also searching for books that are different and will surprise her, with empathetic characters and compelling stories. She takes great pride in her client list, from the debut authors to #1 NYT bestsellers, and likes to consider them all her favorite authors. She previously worked for over two years at Rebecca Friedman Literary before starting her own agency. After spending 14 years in California, she is thrilled to be back on the east coast living in New York City. 

Query Instructions

Kimberly Brower is interested in commercial and upmarket fiction, with an emphasis in general/book club fiction (specifically books that involve complex relationships, ones with moral ambiguity plots is a plus), women’s fiction and romance. However, she is always looking for books that she wants to stay up all night reading, unable to put them down, regardless of what genre an author classifies it as. She loves stories that bring her into a world she doesn’t want to leave and characters that have strong character arcs. She is always looking for stories that take place in a boarding school (adult or YA); a mystery along the lines of The Westing Game or the movie CLUE; and stories that involve the complexity of relationships (romantic/friendship/familial). She also can never say no to an epic love story. All queries should be sent by clicking the Query Agent button and following proper submission guidelines (see below). Because of the number of queries she receives, if you do not receive a response from her within 6 weeks, then please consider it a pass. Only queries sent to this email address will be considered.



SUBMISSION GUIDELINES


  • When sending queries, they should be emailed with “QUERY: [Manuscript/Project Title]” in the subject line and include a query letter, a full synopsis (this should summarize the entire book), and your first chapter, pasted into the email, double-spaced. Queries sent without this information will not be considered. No attachments. 
  • Only query one agent from this agency. If we feel it is a better fit for another agent, we will pass it along ourselves.
  • We only accept queries for finished projects. Please do not send queries for projects that have not yet been completed.
  • We do accept queries from self-published authors; however, do not send a query for a project that has already been self-published – please only send for new manuscripts. However, feel free to mention your self-published work in the query letter. We do have a division designated specifically to self-published authors, click HERE for more information.
  • We only accept queries via e-mail as directed above. We do not accept or respond to queries made via social media, phone or mail.


NOTES

  • We try to respond to every query we receive, regardless of whether we are interested or not, so if you do not hear from us, it means we are either still considering it or have not gotten to it yet. Please give us 6-8 weeks to respond to your query and if you do not hear anything by then, feel free to give us a “gentle nudge.”
  • If we request your full manuscript or proposal, please give us another 6-8 weeks to read. You will receive an answer, regardless of our interest.
  • If you receive an offer of representation from another agency or editor, please let us know immediately and let us know your deadline for making the decision.
