The Krista Goering Literary Agency

From Krista Goering

Imagine just how many submissions an agent receives in a week. Now imagine that only six out of ten of them are properly formatted.

Like most agents I eagerly solicit nonfiction proposals. Why? Well, for me it's because I'm a huge reader of nonfiction books.

Since I started building my agency a few months ago, I have read a lot of submissions. Each time I open an envelope with sample pages I get excited. Who knows? The next thing I read may be my favorite manuscript of all time.

Krista Goering, attorney-at-law and literary agent, moved from New York to America's heartland when she married a Kansas City area businessman.

"I've never considered living in the Midwest a disadvantage," says Goering. "Everyone communicates by email, phone and fax, anyway. When I have business in New York, I'm happy to make the trip."

Earlier in her career Goering studied creative writing at Tufts, German in Vienna, and Danish in Copenhagen. She graduated from the Copenhagen Business School and worked in Europe as a Danish/English translator. She received her juris doctor from the University of Kansas School of Law.

Since the 1980s Goering has lived in the U.S., working as a freelance writer, publishing a regional magazine, acting as Editor-in-Chief of a law journal, and practicing law.
