NYC based literary agent/vp @HGLiterary. Twitter escapee. Slow runner. Erstwhile cyclist. Eager for another world.
I was Alice Wong’s literary agent, and her genius, humor, generosity and righteous anger have been a guiding light to me from our first meeting. She had so much more she wanted to do and it really sucks that she couldn’t. She wasn’t done. I miss you, Alice.

Sharmaine Lovegrove is an incredible publisher. She will be a force for good in any role. Yet it’s hard for me to read this without seeing the current trend of demoting/firing Black women after brief trials by fire instead of investing in them. www.thebookseller.com/news/sharmai...

Something that I think is VERY important to emphasize is, regardless of the size of the offer, HarperCollins is acknowledging they do NOT have the right to use authors work for AI or LLMs without a new license.
