Agent Bio

Alison Lewis joined the agency in 2022, following six years at The Zoë Pagnamenta Agency.

She began her career at WW Norton, and for five years, was editor of the literary magazine American Chordata.

She represents a wide range of nonfiction, spanning cultural criticism, history, investigative journalism, popular science, social science, and literary true crime, as well as select literary fiction.

She is particularly drawn to writers with a distinctive voice and perspective, excellent prose, and a sense of social or political imagination and responsibility.

She loves vivid narratives and characters, hidden or forgotten worlds, and writers pushing the boundaries of preconceived ideas and entrenched structures of power.
