LITERARY AGENT
I've worked at the Andrea Brown Literary Agency since 2017, an agency consistently ranked #1 in juvenile sales by Publishers Marketplace.
I come to agenting with a background in marketing, design, and freelance editorial. Before agenting I worked at various publishing houses, The National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and a ranch in the Rockies to name a few. I have an MA in Children's Literature and an MFA in Writing for Children from Simmons University. I am based in Denver, CO. If I'm not reading, you'll find me training for long distance open water swims, re-watching the Great British Baking Show, or hiking with my Husky-Shepherd mix.

ASSISTANT
Marlo is a Husky-German Shepherd mix adopted from Douglas County Canine Rescue. She is an expert on all things canine, food, or fetch related. She provides excellent stress relief and snuggles.
When she's not sleeping under the desk, you can find her enjoying long hikes or disrupting meetings with her squeaky toy. |
The Andrea Brown Literary Agency was founded in August 1981. Our agency specializes in children's and adult literature. We work to bring light to the voices and perspectives of new writers as well as to nurture and develop the careers of experienced authors. Our goal, whether seeking to secure a publishing contract for a first book or a fiftieth book, is to make sure that clients are not only published, but published well.
Our philosophy is to remain a "small" agency at heart. We invest a great deal of personal care and attention in each project, and we are hands-on in all aspects of our interactions with clients. We work closely with clients in an editorial capacity and we devise a strategy at every stage of the writing process that will enable us to find the best publisher for each book. In doing so, we think about both short term and long term goals for our clients, always keeping the trajectory of a successful career in mind. Our agents have backgrounds in New York publishing, editing, academia, business, teaching, writing and film, and one of our strengths as an agency is that we work collaboratively. Our clients have the benefit not only of their individual agent's expertise but of the combined experience and vision of the group.
As a West Coast based agency, we follow a tradition of West Coast innovation in our passion for discovering new voices, in our efforts to make New York publishing more inclusive of voices from other parts of the country, and in our attempt to see publishing trends that result from this broader perspective. We combine this approach with access, standing, and visibility in the publishing community at large. Our agents make regular trips to New York, attend industry conventions, and participate as faculty at writers' conferences all over the country. We ensure a high profile for our clients and actively keep our fingers on the pulse of publishing.
