Agent Bio

Kent D.

Wolf is the founding partner and rights director who launched his agenting career during the 2008 recession, an experience that fueled his affinity for forging new markets in a risk-averse industry.

A lover of the bizarre, the profane, the unsettling, the dark, and the darkly funny, he is drawn to writing that occupies a literary uncanny valley.

He seeks writers who move the cultural needle through direct confrontation, self-interrogation, the blurring of genres, and the bending of language.

Raised in rural Illinois, he currently lives in Manhattan with his husband.
