Before opening the Agency, Helen worked in senior positions at various publishers, as editor and publisher.

Widely recognized as a top tier agent for thrillers and major front-list fiction, Helen is always open to books that hit the ‘sweet spot’ of commercially successful literary fiction, and is of the strong belief that popular fiction can have serious literary quality. Helen loves to work with new voices, and in addition to thrillers she is always ready to look at historical, domestic, and contemporary novels with a strong story arc.

Helen’s list does not include high fantasy, science fiction, dystopian or juvenile fiction. She is, however, happy to look at a good ghost story!

Helen is a member of the Association of American Literary Agents (AALA).
