Elizabeth Guthrie is a literary agent with Lucinda Literary.
She is actively acquiring. In fiction, she is interested in fantasy, historical, romance (especially fantasy, historical, or LGBTQ), speculative, and psychological thrillers. In nonfiction, she is particularly drawn to true crime, music (almost any genre, but especially blues and classic rock), and history (especially ancient civilizations or intellectual history). She also likes expert-driven wellness, popular psychology, and other science-related ideas (especially in biology or physics).
Elizabeth brings a unique perspective to agenting, with a background as both an author and editor in the complementary medicine space. Her own journey through the querying and submission process — culminating in a book deal for Earth’s Embrace, which explores post-traumatic growth through the lens of plant medicine — sparked her passion for guiding other authors through the publishing landscape. In addition to her work with Lucinda Literary, she maintains an active editorial and ghostwriting practice and writes fantasy romance under the pen name Ellie Fowler.
