Karly Dizon
Agent, Fuse Literary
Karly is a senior agent at Fuse Literary building KidLit and Adult universes with stories that matter. She first joined the agency in 2016. Karly has built a career with a strong background as a freelance editor as well as extensive experience with graphic design and marketing. Karly is also the KidLit track coordinator for the San Francisco Writers Conference. Karly’s clients have won or been nominated for such awards as National Book Award longlist, Hal Clement Notable Young Adult Books List, Kirkus Best Books of the Year, NCTE Notable Books List, SLJ Best Book of the Year, and Kirkus Prize Finalist. Karly aims to give visibility to marginalized voices, experiences, history, culture, folklore, and mythology. She believes that people, especially children, should be able to see themselves reflected and celebrated within the pages of a book, from contemporary to fantastical adventures. Karly loves stories with grand adventures, imperfect characters, but most importantly, a strong voice that hooks a reader within the first page.
