Agent Information
Agent Bio
Meredith joined The Gernert Company in 2022 after sixteen years agenting at other agencies.
Her tastes encompass high-staked literary and upmarket fiction that makes you feel and think deeply, select nonfiction for fiction readers, and prize-winning poets crafting prose that takes a big narrative swing.
She inclines toward stories that offer delight, escape, provocation, and/or consolation.
She is as equally drawn to novels of abundant charm, humor (warm or mordant), voice, and heart as she is to elegant, morally complex, seductively charged fiction.
She’s particularly seeking literary love stories in unusual settings, novels of messy joy, novels grounded in our world but which ambitiously play with the magical or speculative to electric result, stories that incorporate the natural world in a moving and revelatory way, propulsive novels reimagining age-old tropes, and immersive elevated fiction of all kinds that allows readers to deep dive, experience enchantment, approximate the divine, or otherwise embrace the beauty of being alive.
