About Me
Ernie Chiara is a literary agent at Fuse Literary. Check out his MSWL to see what kinds of projects he's into.
Ernie loves nothing more than being able to work with his amazing clients on the books of their dreams. Having first joined Fuse Literary as a writer and client himself, he knows what it's like to be in the query trenches, and his goal is to be the type of agent every writer hopes to find.
Prior to becoming a literary agent, Ernie was a mentor and communications director for the Pitch Wars writer mentorship program, a copywriter for a Fortune 500 client, and the founder of TBRstack.com, a platform where authors can share curated lists of their favorite books by other authors with proceeds to benefit inner-city literacy.
He specializes in adult & young adult fantasy, science fiction, and horror, as well as speculative literary fiction, upmarket speculative, BIPOC mystery/thriller/crime fiction, and young adult contemporary.
Ernie loves nothing more than being able to work with his amazing clients on the books of their dreams.
When his nose isn’t buried in a book, you can find him doing freelance design work, binge-watching the latest tv series, browsing the stacks at Barnes & Noble for much too long, and failing miserably at getting his kids to laugh at his jokes.
You can also find him messing around on bluesky, instagram, and threads.
