About Mandy
Emerald City Literary Agency launched in 2015, by agency founder Mandy Hubbard.Mandy began her publishing career on the other side of the desk–as an author. Her debut novel, Prada and Prejudice, was published by Penguin’s Razorbill books imprint in 2009, and went on to appear in TIME magazine and Entertainment Weekly. She has since written 10 other novels, published by Harlequin, Flux, and Bloomsbury. Her work has been translated into a half dozen languages and optioned for film.
Mandy joined D4EO Literary Agency in February of 2010, where she began building her list. A few months later she sold her first book in a 4-way auction. The following year, she brokered her first six figure deal. By the end of 2015 she’d sold nearly 70 novels to major publishers, and was ready to launch Emerald City Literary Agency.
Today, Mandy represents a diverse list of YA and MG novels, including Ashley Shuttleworth’s A DARK AND HOLLOW STAR (A debut YA Urban fantasy with a queer cast of badass characters coming from Simon & Schuster in 2021), Brigid Kemmerer’s A CURSE SO DARK AND LONELY, a New York Times Bestselling fantasy novel published by Bloomsbury, and a slate of contemporary YA and MG novels by Cyn Balog, T. E. Carter, Kelly Jones, and more.
