Brower Literary & Management

dknutson · Sep 13, 2016

Hi, sorry I'm new to posting on these threads. Mostly read them. I was curious if any one has heard from the Brower and Literary & Management? More specifically, Ms. Aimee Ashcraft? She was posted as a new agent on query tracker.

Thanks for any information!

Here's a link: Brower Literary & Management

Founded by Kimberly Brower, who joined Rebecca Friedman Literary in 2014. I guess she's no longer there, even though her LinkedIn profile says she is. So this agency looks pretty brand-spankin' new.

There's a plethora of male-torso covers on their home page. Not sure what that means, if anything...

Kimberly Brower represents numerous #1 NYT bestselling romance authors, both self- and Big 5 published, including Meredith Wild and Vi Keeland. I'd imagine that has something to do with it.

Heard about their new subrights department today--any indie authors used them for that?

Definitely crickets on this thread, but I thought I'd try and revive it and see if anyone out there had any experience or thoughts regarding Brower Literary Management?

Some time back, I received a R&R from Aimee Ashcraft, specifying that a certain plot point needed development, so I replied with a proposal of how I planned to change it and she said that sounded good. I sent the revisions, and got a reply that since the narrative voice didn't work for her, she wasn't the right agent for me.

That's all the experience I have... hope this helps.

Why ask for the R&R in the first place? The narrative voice shouldn't have changed that much in revisions.

I have no idea. The experience has definitely not made me enthusiastic about this agency.

Anyone have any recent experiences with this agency? Thanks.

The request rate in SF, on Query Tracker, is abysmal so I skipped this agency. Looks like they request fantasy though, so it might be a reasonable place for you to try.

Sent in a query and waited 3 months to get an R & R, fixed it, sent it back, and waited 3 more months to get a pass.
