Brenna English-Loeb

Brenna English-Loeb works with authors of adult genre fiction and adult nonfiction, with select YA and crossover clients. She joined the Transatlantic in 2019 after working for several years at Janklow & Nesbit Associates and Writers House, where I had the pleasure of working with New York Times bestselling and award-winning authors across multiple genres. Brenna grew up in beautiful Upstate New York and studied English and Theatre at Bucknell University. 

Brenna is also the owner of BEL Tower Editorial, where she works with authors as a developmental editor on such big-picture issues as world-building, plot and character development, pacing and theme, among other areas of concern, such as query and synopsis critiques.

Brenna is currently open to both fiction and nonfiction submissions.

For nonfiction:

Brenna is looking for serious, groundbreaking sociological work that holds our culture up to the magnifying glass. She also loves accounts of historical events and people that deserve to be better known, as well as unusual and influential object histories.

For fiction:

Brenna has always gravitated to unique stories with a strong point of view, and she’s specifically looking for works of contemporary and secondary world fantasy, high concept space operas, gothic fantasy, horror, classic/traditional mysteries, Westerns from a queer and/or BIPOC perspective, and any combination of the above.
