Overview
Between working on different lists, I've evaluated and contributed to the production of countless bestselling books. The books I've worked on cross countless genres and I feel confident of my ability to provide helpful and thoughtful feedback I stand behind to help get an author's book represented by a literary agent, acquired by a publisher and enjoyed by readers everywhere.
My own tastes and experiences are broad and eclectic; so with me, you'll get someone who understands the big picture. And because I've worked on may different lists that range from the literary to the upmarket to the commercial, fiction and nonfiction (not to mention the range of personalities), it's less about genre for me but rather making your project the best version of your vision.
