Nicole Cunningham, The Book Group

Nicole represents a range of fiction, nonfiction, and illustrators. She works with writers and artists who share a sense of wonder, curiosity, and tenderness about the world.

As an agent, I love getting to know debut and previously published authors, and tailoring individual advice for their unique needs, hopes, and dreams. Every author’s path to publication is different, and I love collaborating with authors to help them reach their readers. My goal is to always help authors find where the book of their heart and the book of the market meet. I represent mostly fiction, anywhere from literary to more book club/commercial, thrillers to romcoms, and a small amount of literary nonfiction. I enjoy reviewing and critiquing query letters, providing thoughtful feedback on sample pages, and devising overall querying strategies. I also love talking big-picture: trends in publishing, how to market oneself, how to write a great hook, and more.

Max Sinsheimer, Sinsheimer Literary

Max Sinsheimer represents a wide range of adult nonfiction, with a particular interest in popular science, history, biography, food and cookery, (light) true crime, adventure narratives, and social and environmental issues. He retains a soft spot for academics who can write for general audiences and enjoys working with journalists and subject experts of many stripes.
