Agent Bio
Brianne started as a starry-eyed intern at Writer’s House in 2007.
She worked her way up to Senior Agent before moving to HG Literary in 2021.
Brianne represents children’s books of all stripes, with a particular focus on character-driven middle grade and young adult fiction.
She also selectively represents picture books and adult fiction.
The one link Brianne has throughout the genres she focuses on is humor and whimsy, particularly in darker settings.
She loves stories that can illuminate something about humanity in a fresh and quirky way, AND make her laugh.
