Adult Nonfiction, Adult Fiction

Jennifer has always had a passion for all things literary. After receiving her BA and MA in English from Yale University, she worked at St. Martin’s Press, serving as an Executive Editor and publishing bestselling titles like Behind Closed Doors by B.A. Paris, Climate of Hope by Michael Bloomberg, Baby Teeth by Zoe Stage, and Renia’s Diary by Renia Spiegel. In the fall of 2019, she moved to the other side of the desk and joined the Ross Yoon Agency. When Ross Yoon incorporated with William Morris, Jennifer decided to continue to take her hands-on approach to client development to the next level by founding her own agency.

Jennifer’s areas of specialty include high-concept, cleverly plotted bookclub fiction of all categories and nonfiction with new voices and new angles on perennial subjects. Above all, Jennifer is looking for books with a hook, a strong voice, and a powerful plot.

Outside of the literary world, Jennifer is the co-chair of Project Lyme, a non-profit based in NYC that focuses on awareness, education and advocacy. She also chairs the UJA Executive Committee for Publishing and is a UJA board member. She is based in NYC, where she lives with her husband and 4 children.
