Wolfson Literary Agency is a small agency dedicated to providing personalized service to a select group of clients whose books I absolutely adore. If I can't say that, I don't represent you. I handle commercial fiction and non-fiction with an emphasis on quirky, fun projects and practical titles that appeal to women. In fiction my taste is broad and covers mysteries and thrillers, women's fiction and romance, young adult, and the occasional memoir or fantasy (but not fantasy memoir, none of those please), and always commercial.

I will paraphrase for my clients: "I love Michelle." "She works so hard for me." "Michelle is great!"
