Agent Bio
Wendi Gu is a literary agent based in New York City.
She represents visually striking books across the young reader space to the adult space.
Wendi typically looks for picture books that straddle piercing humor and heart, lyrical middle grade, and daring, sharp YA.
She loves graphic novels and memoirs that share lesser-known pieces of history and those quieter slices of life.
She especially adores stories of all genres if they are from around the world and speak to multigenerational diaspora experiences.
