Rick Lewis is a literary manager, representing authors of fantasy, science-fiction, and fantasy novels, as well as graphic novel and comic book creators in all genres.

Before joining Martin Literary Management, he was editor-in-chief at Uproar Books, where he worked closely with debut authors to edit and launch award-winning science fiction and fantasy novels such as the gothic fantasy Asperfell by Jamie Thomas, the dark sci-fi comedy Always Greener by J.R.H. Lawless, and the YA contemporary fantasy Foretold by Violet Lumani.

​Before joining the literary world, Rick spent nearly two decades as a professional writer, first in television news and then in marketing in Nashville, Tenn., before escaping with his spouse and two children to the mountains near Charlottesville, Va., in 2022.

As an agent, ​Rick is looking for novels that feature complex, realistic characters in highly imaginative worlds. Give him genuine emotions and meaningful struggles, but also at least a touch of science, magic, or the supernatural that captures the imagination while illuminating the real world.
