Work History

From The Bent Agency website: "For the past 15 years, I’ve worked in Children’s Book Marketing, most recently as the Marketing Director at Henry Holt Books for Young Readers, and previous to that as the Library Marketing Director at Penguin Young Readers Group. I’ve been pleased to work on many different books during that time ranging from Eric Carle’s Baby Bear, Baby Bear to Betsy Partridge’s This Land Was Made for You and Me, to Nancy Werlin’s Black Mirror, as well as the work of Mary E Pearson, Richard Peck and Joan Bauer."

Personal Info

From The Bent Agency website: "I was born and grew up in Washington, DC, and was an avid reader from an early age. I remember fondly summer days when my sister and I would make the trek to the local library, carrying the biggest bags we could. Lugging that big bag of books home through a humid DC summer’s day was no fun, but, oh, the excitement of a new stack of books to read! When 14 years old, I found my first job re-stocking shelves at the Cheshire Cat Bookstore, one of the first children’s only stores in the country, and children’s books have been a happy home for me, one way or another, ever since."

Description

"I primarily represent science fiction and fantasy, horror, young adult fiction, and romance. I also do represent some nonfiction material, but it's not my primary area. In terms of SFF, I like almost all examples of the genre, even epic fantasy, but I'm very picky if something sounds cliched. There's so much wonderful material out there to explore that every fantasy novel doesn't need the stereotypical elf, dwarf, and farmboy-turned-world savior, all of whom start their adventure in a bar with tavern wenches.
