About Me
I am a literary agent at Ross Yoon, an agency known for powerhouse nonfiction and inventive literary and commercial fiction. Most of my list is nonfiction, but have been known to occasionally go to bat for a novel that's truly outstanding.
As the agency's foreign rights director, I brokers clients’ contracts in more than 50 territories. As its in-house editor, I play a major role in helping all of Ross Yoon's clients shape their proposals into the sharpest, most commercial works possible.
Before becoming an agent full time, I sometimes took on select clients for editorial consulting and editing projects including memoirs, mysteries, women's fiction, thrillers, and translations.
Before kicking off a publishing career with a stint at a UK nonfiction publisher about a decade ago, I taught English to gifted high school students on a Fulbright fellowship in South Korea and completed a graduate degree in Renaissance literature at University College London (UCL).
In my time off, I'm a recovering academic who occasionally relapses. I have a soft spot for Victorian novels, science fiction & fantasy, adaptations of Shakespeare, obsessively researched narrative nonfiction, New Haven pizza, and terrible puns.
