Agent Bio

Danielle represents critically acclaimed, award-winning fiction and nonfiction.

She is particularly looking for narratives from writers traditionally excluded from the publishing industry.

For fiction, she likes books that balance plot with voice, have a strong sense of place, a unique hook, and are stylistically bold.

For nonfiction, she’s looking for work that’s rigorously researched and will expand the reader’s view of the world.

Her clients have won several Lambda Literary Awards, several Shirley Jackson Awards, several Hugo Awards, the LA Times Book Prize, the Dylan Thomas Prize, several O Henry Awards, received National Book Award “5 Under 35” honors and APALA Adult Fiction honors, and have been finalists for the National Book Award, Center for Fiction First Novel Prize, VCU Cabell First Novel Prize, and more.
