Literary agent & author

AGENT,

A Life Devoted to Books and Creativity

Michelle’s taste in books could be described as eclectic. Or eccentric. Pretty much anything that strikes her fancy, really. From fun and silly to dark and terrifying to emotional and sublime, it’s anyone’s guess what will next win her over, but there is a constant undercurrent of quality writing and captivating storytelling that runs through her clients’ works.
