Talented agent, Vicki Weber, who is also a bestselling kidlit author and coach, has joined Fuse Literary and we couldn’t be happier.
Vicky has been agenting since 2022, first at The Purcell Agency and then at Creative Media Agency, where she also managed subsidiary rights for the full client list. She has sold books to Hachette, Penguin Random House, Macmillan, and Simon & Schuster, and run four auctions, with a fifth scheduled for September.
“I came into agenting from the author side, which shapes how I work with clients,” Weber said.
She lives outside Chicago with her husband and children.
At Fuse, Vicky represents commercial fiction from board books through adult, with a taste for the standout and the slightly weird. She wants intensity on the page: plot-driven stories with deep characterization, high stakes, and characters who make her forget she’s reading for work.
Adult, New Adult, & Young Adult Fiction: Vicky is hungriest for thriller, suspense, and horror. Psychological tension where the scariest thing is what’s inside someone’s own head. Haunted houses, gothic horror with real psychological depth, maritime horror, and “social scary” that digs at collective unease. Anything comped to the Flanaverse will get her attention. She also wants dark and high fantasy, romantasy with tortured and broody heroes, horror-laced romance, mystery with a supernatural edge, and historical fiction that leans hard on the fiction (as in gothic, historical horror, historical suspense, lesser-known corners of the past).
