She represents adult fiction, adult non-fiction and some YA projects, including New York Times bestselling novelists Christopher Moore and Charles Todd, Pulitzer Prize winner Julia Keller, national bestseller Hank Phillippi Ryan and memoirist Molly Bloom, author of MOLLY'S GAME, released as a major motion picture directed by Aaron Sorkin, and starring Jessica Chastain and Idris Elba.
