Welcome

ABOUT
ME:
I am an agent
with Harvey Klinger, Inc., a full service boutique
literary agency in New York where I represent both adult and children's titles. On the adult side, I represent commercial and literary fiction and a range of non fiction. On the children's side, my list includes YA and middle grade fiction, as well as picture books.
I am always looking for strong, original new voices: there are many debuts among my recent sales, and I'd like to keep it that way. I represent the author and not just the project, working to establish long-term relationships and develop authors' careers. Some of my more well known projects include ZOOLOGY by Ben Dolnick, HOLD STILL by Nina Lacour (William C. Morris Award Finalist), PATIENT ZERO by Jonathan Maberry, GENTLEMEN by Michael Northrop, I HEART YOU, YOU HAUNT ME by Lisa Schroeder and LOST IT by Kristen Tracy.
I aggressively market British and translation rights for my authors, utilizing my experience as a foreign rights agent at Trident Media Group and The Wylie Agency in London. Recent rights sales include SECRETS OF TRUTH AND BEAUTY by Megan Frazer in Germany, HOLD STILL by Nina Lacour in Germany and Holland, and I AM NOT A SERIAL KILLER by Dan Wells to the UK, Germany and Japan.
We also actively market film and TV rights, and recently optioned PATIENT ZERO by Jonathan Maberry to Sony TV, and I AM NOT A SERIAL KILLER by Dan Wells to British based The Bureau Film, with Bertrand Faivre producing and Billy O'Brien slated to direct and write the screenplay.

WHAT TO
QUERY:
I am always looking
for young adult fiction and middle grade fiction for my children’s
list. I represent a few wonderful picture book writers and am not
looking to add to that list at this time. I am open to hearing from
author/illustrators.
For adult and
children’s fiction, my taste tends to be for the more literary,
often quirky, sometimes funny, always with a strong, original voice.
While my list is mostly contemporary realistic fiction, I also like
horror, mystery, urban fantasy and historical fiction.
I represent a
wide range of non-fiction -- from humor to memoir.
I am not the right agent for self-help, health, business books, romance
or poetry.
