Krista White is a literary agent with The Rights Factory.

Krista is building her list, having completed her internship under the CEO of The Rights Factory. Before pursuing publishing, Krista had a career in sales, culminating in co-founding a small executive recruitment firm. She’s a member of the Women’s Fiction Writers Association, having proudly served as its Vice President of Membership. Krista is also a member of PACLA, the Professional Association of Canadian Literary Agents. She lives north of Toronto in a quiet hamlet with her husband, sons, and vegetable garden.

In fiction, Krista is drawn to upmarket and literary writing. If genre elements of women’s fiction, romance, or mystery are incorporated into your upmarket and literary narratives, all the better. She hungers for stories with a moral angle: a character seeking to determine what is good in a gray scenario, or a protagonist holding fast to what is right despite a grueling trial or temptation. She loves novels rich with psychological or philosophical insight, cultural nuance, and complex relationships. In other words, book club fiction: stories with social commentary that spark discussion.

In nonfiction, Krista seeks memoirs about romantic or parental relationships and those who have accomplished incredible things, preferably in their careers. Krista seeks projects in the Business, Self-Help, and Cultural/Social Issues spaces, particularly around psychology and sociology. Krista is eager to represent proposals for the Christian market. She is interested in nearly every subgenre of Christian nonfiction: memoir, devotionals, Bible studies, Christian living, self-help, theology, and apologetics.
