 ABOUT THE AGENT: Aram Fox is a literary agent with MMQ, a full-service literary agency that focuses on bringing fiction and non-fiction of quality to the largest possible audience. At age 26, Aram founded a book scouting agency where for 23 years he represented international publishers and American film/TV companies, guiding his publisher and film/TV clients to acquire a Who’s Who of bestsellers and prize-winners, including: Brit Bennett, Peter Godfrey-Smith, Lauren Oyler, Honorée Fanonne Jeffers, Bill Gates, George Saunders, Angela Duckworth, Patrick Radden Keefe, Dave Grohl, Lena Dunham, Emma Cline, Harlan Coben, Jeff VanderMeer, Alex Honnold and Andy Weir among many others. He joined the MMQ agency in 2023. ARAM IS SEEKING: “Aram represents a mix of fiction and nonfiction. His favorite novelists, commercial as well as literary, put immersive storytelling front and center. In nonfiction, he’s looking for powerful memoir, natural history, deeply reported narrative nonfiction, and world-class explainers and advice-givers.”..... HOW TO SUBMIT: As always, please review the agent’s and/or agency’s submission guidelines before you submit. Please note: When we post a New Agent Spotlight, we try to make sure the agent is open to submissions at the time of posting. But as time goes by, an agent can close and open to submissions at any time. If some time has passed since this spotlight was posted, you will want to check their agency website and/or QueryManager before submitting, to be sure. “Fiction writers, please send a query letter and the first 30 pages. Nonfiction writers, please send your query letter and book proposal (if you don’t have a proposal, please send the first 30 pages and an outline). All queries should be sent to [email protected] and should include a synopsis, brief bio, and your contact information. Aram asks that you put “Query” in the subject line and paste the letter and sample pages into the body of the email. Please note — and it kills him to say this — that Aram is not able to respond to everyone who sends him material. If he would like to hear more about your writing, he will be in touch within 2-3 weeks.”  Attend a Writers Conference in 2026:
