Founded in 1977, the Frances Goldin Literary Agency is a full-service literary agency based in New York City’s Greenwich Village. We represent literary fiction, high-quality commercial fiction, and serious, often controversial nonfiction, with a particular interest in books with a progressive political orientation. We represent over 100 active award-winning writers, journalists, scholars, poets and activists, including Barbara Kingsolver, Dorothy Allison, Adrienne Rich, Mumia Abu-Jamal, and the Pulitzer Prize winning authors of GOTHAM, Mike Wallace and Ted Burroughs.
I am interested in frontlist commercial fiction and literary fiction with a strong narrative storyline; in nonfiction, cutting-edge issues, quirky and original memoirs, history, politics, progressive business and economics, international, multicultural and feminist topics of all kinds. Almost any nonfiction topic in which the writing is brilliant would capture my interest.
