Sandra Dijkstra Literary Agency		1155 Camino Del Mar, PMB 515, Del Mar, CA 92014 US https://dijkstraagency.com/ twitter: http://www.twitter.com/jesswatterson

Jessica Watterson is an agent at Sandra Dijkstra and Associates Literary Agency. A lifelong lover of books, she got her start in publishing as an indie book blogger which gives her a unique approach in her agenting style. She’s drawn to authentic voices and fully realized characters that leap off of the page. In regards to romance, she loves themes that challenge societal status quo, while also delivering a beautiful and thoughtful romantic arc. For Women’s Fiction, Jessica particularly gravitates to stories that are feminist and accessible to the casual reader. For YA, she’s drawn to fun and whimsical stories that are lighthearted. In Middle Grade and Picture Books, she loves stories that give readers a new window through which they can view their world. She currently only considers author/illustrated picture books. At this time Jessica is only considering projects that are direct referrals.
