Sophie Pugh-Sellers The last time the agent had an active listing on Duotrope, the agent was affiliated with The Gernert Company (see other agents at this agency). Permanently Closed: This agent is no longer accepting queries (May 2025). We provide the following information as an archive. About Sophie Pugh-Sellers joined The Gernert Company in 2019. Raised in Oakland, California and Charlottesville, Virginia, her literary palate is as eclectic and complex as her two hometowns. She is interested in representing smart narrative and journalistic nonfiction; memoirs from radical new voices; commercial and literary fiction, particularly with sci-fi, folk tale, or speculative elements; and works of poetry that are urgent and unafraid to play with genre. She loves deep dives, anything melancholy, and stories that challenge her to think more critically about the world. All of her favorite writing includes language and worlds so powerful that she misses them long after closing the book. She serves on the Center for Fiction’s First Novel Fête Committee, and holds a BA in Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies from Barnard College. She lives in Brooklyn, New York. This agent may not respond to all queries. After waiting 42 days, assume your submission will not be accepted.
