15 Minute One-On-One Session with literary agent Cece Lyra.
Cecilia “CeCe” Lyra is a literary agent at Wendy Sherman Associates representing adult fiction and nonfiction. A longterm strategic thinker, CeCe prioritizes the creative reach and sustainable longevity of her authors’ careers, and she is especially looking for clients with whom she can build fruitful, lasting relationships. CeCe believes that stories are empathy generating machines capable of healing, connecting, and enacting true change. She is particularly drawn to books centered around power (dynamics, imbalance, rise & fall), identity (perception, exploration, intersectionality), and dysfunction (familial, societal, cultural) told with originality, nuance, and authenticity.As a mixed race Latinx immigrant, CeCe understands the power of seeing oneself reflected in books, hence her passion for championing under or misrepresented voices and narratives. CeCe is also the co-host of the popular podcast, The Shit No One Tells you About Writing, which has over four million downloads. CeCe leads sought-after classes on the craft of writing with the goal of supporting emerging writers in their path to publication.
