What I do as your literary agent:
As your agent, I go beyond the pitch—I partner with you to guide your publishing journey with strategy, heart, and industry insight. Here’s what working with me looks like:
📖 Manuscript Development
Before we go out on submission, we’ll work together to polish your manuscript to its strongest form. This includes:
- Editorial feedback (structural, stylistic, and market-related)
- Developmental edits and revision strategy
- Constructive feedback that honors your voice
✉️ Query & Submission Strategy
Once your manuscript is ready, I take the reins:
- Crafting a personalized submission plan to top editors
- Positioning your book for the right imprints and markets
- Managing communication with publishers
📑 Contract Negotiation
I handle all the fine print so you can focus on the writing:
- Negotiating fair and favorable deals (advances, royalties, rights)
- Ensuring your interests are protected with clarity and transparency
- Collaborating with legal professionals when needed
🌍 Rights Management
Publishing is just the beginning. I help expand your book’s reach through:
- Translation & foreign rights (partnering with co-agents)
- Audio rights, including podcast adaptation opportunities
- Film/TV options, via reputable partners in entertainment
🧭 Career Strategy & Author Advocacy
You’re not just a manuscript—you’re an author with a career. I offer:
- Long-term career guidance (next projects, brand building, genre shifts)
- Feedback on future pitches, proposals, and ideas
- Guidance through publication, launches, marketing, and beyond
🤝 Author-First Representation
Above all, I’m here for you:
- Clear, honest communication
