About

86 members set this agent as a Favorite.

As an agent, and a reader, I'm a generalist. I work across fiction, non-fiction and children's books. I love unputdownable stories that introduce me to new worlds, or recreate ones I already know. Explorations of relationships, history, faith, science, culture -- yes, please. I love comics and graphic novels, so whether you're working in prose or in panels or a combination of elements, all formats are welcome. I grew up the oldest of six, and I'm uncle to fifteen (so far), so I'm always intrigued by unique views on parenting and family life. If your pages can make me hold my breath or miss my subway stop... I'd love to hear from you.

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.
