Brandi Bowles

An agent with United Talent Agency (see other agents at this agency).

About

Brandi Bowles began representing authors in 2007, transitioning from Penguin Random House to represent a wide array of idea and platform-driven nonfiction, from memoirs and essay collections to cookbooks, comedy, pop culture, parenting, science, business, health & wellness, and narrative nonfiction.

On the fiction side, Brandi also represents authors of select children's fiction and upmarket genre fiction, particularly those with a focus on magical realism or psychological / scientific themes. She has had the pleasure of working with thought leaders, storytellers, innovators, and cultural icons ranging from Jennifer Grey to Joshua Weissman, Phil Rosenthal, Nick DiGiovanni, Tiffani Thessen, James Murray, Symone Sanders, Kelly Williams Brown, Meghan McCain, Iliza Shlesinger, Kevin Fredericks, Emma Chamberlain, Yvonne Orji, and Jennifer Coolidge, artists such as Alex Hirsch, Brady Smith, and the Ernie Barnes estate, and writers and journalists such as Baynard Woods, Jeannine Amber, Dina Gachman, and Kelly Williams Brown.

A lifelong learner, Brandi is always looking for fresh perspectives, entertaining personal stories, and big-idea books that change the way we think about the world. Driven by a passion for storytelling, she is hands on through every stage of the process, from helping authors curate and refine ideas, write a compelling book proposal, sell and publish a bestselling book, and beyond.

Brandi is a graduate of the University of Louisville, summa cum laude, and lives with her husband and two children just outside of New York City.

Agent Impersonation Scams are becoming commonplace.
A legitimate agent will not contact you and request money to represent you. Never pay an agent an up-front fee. That is not how literary agent representation works. Agents earn a commission only after they've landed a publishing deal for you. Also, agents scarcely ever contact writers. If an agent that you haven't queried contacts you about representation, be suspicious. Look up the agent and check if the email address is correct for that agent/agency.
