What I look for...
I love reading manuscripts that make me want to drag the story around with me—to the dinner table, to the park, to the midnight hour. Whether that’s because of the arresting plot, the intriguing characters, or the haunting voice; these are the kinds of projects I love to champion, the manuscripts that won't let my mind rest.
Where I work...
Writers House was founded in 1973 with a vision for a new kind of literary agency, one that would combine a passion for managing a writer's career with an integrated understanding of how storytelling works.
