Description
15 Minute One-On-One Session with literary agent Kiele Raymond.
Kiele Raymond (Senior Agent) grew up reading in the beautiful seacoast area of New Hampshire before pursuing her studies in literature and anthropology with a B.A. from Johns Hopkins University and an M.A. from the University of Chicago. She launched her publishing career at Simon & Schuster in 2011 and joined TLA in 2017 to seek out bold new voices in literary fiction and narrative nonfiction. Her clients include critically-acclaimed and award-winning writers such as Peace Adzo Medie, Nichole Perkins, Katie Barnes, Ari Braverman, Candice Wuehle, and Janice Obuchowski, and books on her list have been named New York Times 100 Notable Books, Time’s 100 Must-Read Books, NPR’s Best Books of the Year; selected for Reese’s Book Club and GMA Buzz Picks; as well as longlisted for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize, the Women’s Prize for Fiction, and the Diverse Book Awards. Kiele treats each project with great editorial care and is particularly interested in stories that examine our individual and cultural modes of sense-making. She also loves authoritative-yet-evasive narrators, anti-heroes bound to their institutions or ecosystems, and histories that remind us of the importance of subversive communities and local action.
