Agent Information

Agent Bio

Jordan oined JABberwocky as an agent in 2023 with over 15 years of publishing experience both as an agent and an editor at Penguin Young Readers (Grosset & Dunlap), Egmont USA, and Adaptive Studios.

After graduating from The New School with a BFA in Musical Theater and spending time performing across the country, Jordan made the leap to publishing and loves continuing to help new stories get into the world across various mediums.

She currently lives in Southern California where she frequently heads up to Los Angeles for meetings with studios and producers.

Living a short drive from Disneyland, she has become a full-fledged “Disney Adult” who loves to talk about the parks and her favorite rides (Space Mountain and Haunted Mansion).

And she occasionally has been known to pick up her tap shoes and perform in a show now and then to keep those musical theater muscles strong.
