agents: Wendy Sherman, Michelle Brower

interested in: Wendy Sherman is particularly interested in fiction with a strong voice and unique perspective. She loves quality women's fiction -- whether literary or with more commercial appeal. The essential elements are that the language is distinctive and the storytelling is captivating. Mainstream commercial fiction, literary fiction, upmarket women's fiction, and African-American fiction are strong categories for us.
In non-fiction- anything with a truly unique idea and a strong platform. Narrative non-fiction, memoir, practical and prescriptive, self-help and mainstream psychology are general areas of interest as well as books about important social issues. Books that show us how to live life in a better way - that inform and enlighten us -- are always of interest.

Michelle Brower is interested in books that showcase a different and quirky worldview. She would like to pursue projects in pop culture, music, humor, and memoir, and is also interested in crafting how-to's. In fiction, she is drawn to a distinctive voice and a strong story.
