Agent Bio
While studying at BU Law, she realized that becoming a literary agent would combine her passion for books with her legal background.
She enjoys unexpected settings and loves to see manuscripts that bring to light untold stories from history, particularly featuring individuals from marginalized groups.
Above all, she wants to see strong, polished writing, fully developed and multifaceted characters, and fresh concepts.
Melissa loves dogs, craft beer, playing acoustic guitar, making pickles, tending to her tiny vegetable garden, and her tortoise, Norton.
She lives with her husband in Brighton, MA.
