 ABOUT THE AGENT: Lindsey Aduskevich is a Literary Manager with Martin Literary Management. Lindsey is excited to build her list with passionate, kind, and hard-working authors. As an avid reader, she is open to a wide variety of genres, including picture book, middle grade, young adult, and new adult. After graduating with a B.A. in English from the University of Connecticut, where she developed a love for books that inspire empathy and foster a deeper understanding of the world in which we live, Lindsey became determined to carve a career in the publishing industry. She attended her first SCBWI conference in 2019, and later joined several critique groups, became a member of Julie Hedlund’s 12 x 12 Picture Book Challenge, and a member of Inked Voices. She interned with Senior Literary Manager Kristen Terrette before starting her career as an agent. As an agented kidlit writer herself, Lindsey is familiar with the ups and downs of the query trenches and submission process and hopes to emulate the same compassion and quick communication she found in several agents who helped guide her own writing journey. Residing in Southington, CT with her husband and two girls, Lindsey enjoys borrowing unusually tall stacks of picture books from the local library, snakeboarding in the basement with her family, hiking in the summer, skiing in the winter, and celebrating all the “wins” with her favorite critique partners.

LINDSEY IS SEEKING: Picture Books: Lindsey is open to all kinds of picture books, both fiction and non-fiction, from authors and author/illustrators. She loves humor with heart (but the heart has to be big), dark humor, spooky stories, commercial fiction, lyrical texts, and hard topics. Middle Grade: Send her fantasy, thriller, mystery, adventure, contemporary, and anything in between. Young Adult: Lindsey wants romcom, fantasy, horror, thriller, historical fiction, contemporary romance, and hard topics that make her heart ache. New Adult: Lindsey is open here but would prefer college or just starting out with a little bit of romance or humor. With all genres, Linden is looking for fresh, unique concepts, phenomenal voices, high-stakes, and emotionally driven stories that speak to current issues and leave the reader with something to think about. Make her cry or laugh (or both) and you will have her heart. Please submit to Lindsey via Query Manager here. To see Lindsey's website, click here.
