Ethan Schlatter

Ethan Schlatter began at UTA in 2022 after a mercifully brief stint working in intellectual property law. He works both with the translation team and with his own clients domestically.

On the domestic side, Ethan is building his list of authors across both fiction and non-fiction. On the fiction side, he casts a wide net, but he generally thinks of his taste as something very human written in an unique or outlandish way, or something out-of-this-world approached in a very human way. He also a sucker for messy characters, gasp worthy twists, or anything where the premise can best be described as “coo-coo bananas.” With non-fiction, he’s drawn to cultural criticism (both serious and frivolous), ancient history, humorous essays, or any deep dive into a specific subject. Bonus points for anything that’s fascinating on its own while simultaneously adding to a greater cultural conversation. Also, just in case it’s not apparent already, he has a soft spot for anything LGBT+.

A recovering theater kid, Ethan grew up in Southern California and attended the University of California, Berkeley (Go Bears!). Upon completing his pre-med courses, he took a hard pivot and graduated with a B.A. in Media Studies and Rhetoric, much to the confusion of his parents. Unsurprisingly, he lives in Brooklyn.
