Natascha Morris, Senior Agent with Tobias Literary Agency, will share her professional advice and experience on the art of developing compelling Pitches and using them to create opportunities for getting a second look from Agents, Editors and Readers. Season Ticket Holders will receive a link to submit a pitch for the speaker to possibly use during their presentation.
Natascha joined The Tobias Literary Agency in 2020 after previously working at BookEnds Literary and Simon & Schuster. Natascha’s editorial philosophy stems from the idea that all books should be well written and entertaining, and that all children should see themselves and their lives in books. Natascha is primarily looking for bold, emotional narratives with layered characters; lyrical and atmospheric writing; voicey genre-blending tales; big stakes; speculative worlds filled with haunting, quietly wondrous magic; sharply funny rom-coms and coming of age narratives; witty and heartfelt picture books; and fearless storytellers tackling big ideas. She loves working with and supporting marginalized authors and their stories, and believes in championing stories that blend literary finesse with commercial appeal.
