Agent Spotlight: Liza Pulitzer-Voges

This week's Agent Spotlight features Liza Pulitzer-Voges of Eden Street LLC

Status: Open to submissions.

headimg_a2About: “Liza Pulitzer Voges has been a literary agent for childrens' book authors and illustrators for almost 30 years working with over 40 clients. Highlights of the years include Lois Ehlert's Caldecott Honor for COLOR ZOO; Gloria Whelan's National Book Award for HOMELESS BIRD; and Sucie Stevenson's E.B. White award for HENRY AND MUDGE AND THE GREAT GRANDPAS. The growth of authors such as Dan Gutman, Joan Holub, Suzanne Williams, Shutta Crum, and many others is what makes the job irresistible.

“Picture books are still of interest but I'm also interested in young adult, particularly for boys. A middle grade fantasy would also be fun to see. Check out the Eden Street website for more information.” (Link)

About the Agency:

“Eden Street is proud to represent over 40 authors and author-illustrators of books for young readers from pre-school through young adult. Their books have won numerous awards over the past twenty-five years. At Eden Street, we pride ourselves on tailoring our services to each client's goals, working in tandem with them to achieve literary, critical and commercial success.” (Link

What She's Looking For:

Genres/Specialties:

“Representing authors and author-illustrators of books for young readers from pre-school through young adult.” (Link)

From an Interview (07/2011):

“Picture books are still of interest but I'm also interested in young adult, particularly for boys. A middle grade fantasy would also be fun to see.”

“Unique historical fiction such as REVOLUTION or NORTHERN LIGHT or PRISONER IN THE PALACE and a wonderful middle grade fantasy.” (Link)

From an Interview (08/2010):

“I represent all genres! Well, I haven't done any paranormal, so I guess I'm odd that way, but I don't find the need to jump on any bandwagon.”

“I love mysteries as an adult reader... I'd love a really good mystery series, hope that it will have some fun humor too! And naturally, great writing, strong voice, and setting.” (Link)

What She Isn't Looking For:

Adult projects.

Editorial Agent?

Unknown.

Pet-Peeves:

“I post my requirements on my website, so I get truly annoyed when I get e-mail submissions! I just delete them! And I don't represent adult, so that too is a pet peeve.” (Link)

Clients:

There is a list of agency clients on the Eden Street website.

Sales:

As of this posting, Ms. Pulitzer-Voges does not appear to report her deals to Publisher’s Marketplace.  She is a veteran agent with many confirmed sales.

  2. Hi, Casey. Thanks for this Spotlight. It always surprises me to see an agent who refuses to consider at e-queries.

  4. I know Shutta Crum, one of Liza's clients. Plus she's looking for middle grade fantasy so I'm definitely adding her to my list of agents. Thanks for the spotlight.

  6. It's so wonderful that you do these profiles. I never got a chance to thank you for doing one for my agent, Eric Myers. It was so helpful!

    Liza seems great!

      No, you're correct. It's e-mail only now. Her profile is overdue for an update - I'll try to get to it soon!
