SAN FRANCISCO - Feb. 13, 2017 - PRLog -- FUSE LITERARY, the hybrid literary agency that brings technology and innovation to the more traditional aspects of book publishing, today announced the promotion of Tricia Skinner from Associate Agent to Agent at the firm.

"Tricia has shown us from day one that she has what it takes to be a super agent," said Laurie McLean, who formed Fuse Literary with her business partner, Gordon Warnock.

"Tricia sold 26 books in her first year as an agent, which is unheard of," Warnock said. "She's knowledgeable and driven, and she makes it happen. She's also a whole lot of fun to work with—her clients will tell you the same thing."

Raised in Detroit, Tricia obtained her undergraduate degree from the nationally acclaimed Journalism Institute for Media Diversity at Wayne State University. She earned her graduate degree from Southern Methodist University.

Professionally, she began her writing career as a newspaper reporter and wrote for The Detroit News, Investor's Business Daily, MSN, and The Houston Chronicle. She's covered small & minority business, personal finance, and technology.

Prior to agenting, Tricia spent 20 years in the video game industry in public relations, industry relations, and writing/editing. She is also a hybrid author of passionate urban fantasy (represented by Fuse co-founder Laurie McLean).

As an agent, Tricia primarily seeks romance fiction, especially in the subgenres of science fiction, futuristic, fantasy, military/special ops, paranormal, and medieval historical. She is also seeking gamer fiction, urban fantasy, and MG/YA manuscripts that are edgy and dark.
