A boutique literary agency for experts, storytellers, and thought leaders shaping what comes next.
Lingua Nova is built to support ideas and stories that have the power to change how we see, think about, and move through the world we live in.
We are literary agents: trusted partners in shaping winning proposals, securing relationships with leading publishers, and guiding each project on its strongest and most resonant path to readers worldwide.
We are also architects for the long game: helping our clients to align mission with opportunity, forge the right partnerships, and grow their ideas, practices, discoveries, and stories into lasting cultural impact.
It's not just about getting published. It's about changing the conversation.

Jaidree Braddix
Founder & Literary Agent
Jaidree Braddix brings over a decade of experience guiding authors at the intersection of publishing, entrepreneurship, and impact. She believes in the power of great stories and bold ideas to spark global movements, and she is an expert at helping authors and thought leaders to refine their message, find talented professional partners, and develop publication strategies that can turn those ideas and stories into successful literary careers and global readership.
