About

When I asked fellow WCA agent John Pearce what he loved most about his job, he said it was that he worked exclusively in the best interest of his authors. I couldn’t have said it better myself. At the heart of it all, the role of a literary agent is to champion writers—to make sure their stories are not only heard, but treated with care. It’s a privilege I don’t take lightly. I come to WCA with a decade of magazine experience as an editor and journalist. I graduated with honours from Toronto Metropolitan (formerly Ryerson) University’s School of Journalism and completed the Columbia Publishing Course at Oxford; I have been nominated for two Canadian National Magazine Awards (and have served as a judge for them as well); and I have been featured in The New York Times and the Vancouver Sun. I am based in Vancouver, B.C. on the unceded territories of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the Squamish, Musqueam, and Tsleil Waututh nations.

Nonfiction Open

I specialize in narrative nonfiction, including lifestyle, wellness, and culture reportage; essay collections; and memoirs (think: Durga Chew-Bose’s TOO MUCH AND NOT IN THE MOOD; Alicia Elliott’s A MIND SPREAD OUT ON THE GROUND; Lisa Taddeo’s THREE WOMEN; John Vaillant’s THE GOLDEN SPRUCE). I am interested in books that make me feel something—that take me outside of myself. I am open to queries and submissions, so if you think we’d work well together, please do get in touch. I am interested in hearing from all humans—particularly self-identifying women, people of colour, people of all sizes and abilities, and members of the LGBTQ2S+ community. If you have a story to tell but are not sure how to bring it to life yourself, I can help with that, too. Let’s create something great.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the agent or agency being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the agent/agency meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the agency/agent.
  • Unless the agency's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • For agency submissions, it is standard to submit a query letter and sample instead of the full manuscript. Do this unless otherwise instructed.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
