Hunter Strickland
Focused Artists
My Manuscript Wish List®
Hunter has always had many passions in life, one of them being books, which has led her here!
Hunter joined Focused Artists as a junior agent in 2024 after completing an apprenticeship with Co-founder Kristina Sutton. She previously held assistant roles at the Oklahoma Hall of Fame at the Gaylord Pickens Museum for publishing and editing. During her time there she developed a background working with historical non-fiction.
Hunter is currently closed to submissions outside of conferences or pitch events.
Adult Fiction:
- Cozy
- Historical Fiction
- Magical Realism
- Romance
- Romantasy
- Speculative
- Women’s Fiction
- YA/New Adult
I am particularly drawn to mythology or folklore based stories.
