Agent Information
Agent Bio
Prior to joining Ayesha Pande Literary in 2015, Serene worked at Laura Gross Literary Agency in Boston.
Born to Lebanese immigrants in the Midwest, she grew up straddling cultures and languages and still feels like a third culture kid.
She loves books that are joy-filled and full of heart, as well as stories that delve deep into grief and books that explore different meanings of family, home, and identity, especially if they have a speculative bend.
