Curtis Brown, Ltd. is a full-service literary agency that has been representing authors since 1914. After a few internships reading queries for boutique agencies, I began working in the foreign rights department at Curtis Brown, Ltd. in 2008. I received an MFA in creative nonfiction from The New School that same year.

In 2010, I became an Associate Agent at Curtis Brown, Ltd. and have been actively building my list since. I represent both adult and young adult fiction, specializing in literary fiction, magical realism, contemporary commercial fiction, psychological mystery/suspense, light science fiction, and low fantasy. I'd also love to find a literary Middle Grade novel akin to Wonder by R.J. Palacio and When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead. No matter the intended age of the audience, I am drawn to multi-layered stories, strong characters, and unique voices I will fall in love with.
