Elizabeth Copps
Copps Literary Services, LLC
In the summer of 2010, Elizabeth Copps did what any starry-eyed word nerd would do: she used her savings to move from Florida to New York City with the goal of doing something—anything—related to books. When she was offered an internship with a boutique literary agency, she discovered her passion for publishing. For the past fourteen years, Elizabeth has dedicated herself to the care and management of author careers. Her business philosophy is simple: to foster relationships across the industry that are equitable, transparent, and long-lasting. She is excited to continue to build Copps Literary Services and her list of award-winning and eclectic clients from her current home of Denver, Colorado. She is drawn to Fresh takes on timeless plots—upmarket, thought-provoking stories that spark discussion. She loves lush, atmospheric prose and complex, vivid characters who are irreverent, dark, witty, and wise. She specializes in middle grade and adult fiction. In adult, she is currently seeking horror, speculative, book club fiction, and rom-com (with a twist). In middle grade, she is drawn to spooky stories with light magical elements. She is NOT seeking cozy mysteries, poetry, political thrillers, hard sci-fi, or epic fantasy projects.
