New Literary Agent Alert: Kieryn Ziegler of Dystel, Goderich & Bourret
Literary agent alerts (like this one with Kieryn Ziegler of Dystel, Goderich & Bourret) are golden opportunities for new writers because each one is a literary agent who is likely building their client list.
About Kieryn: Kieryn Ziegler joined DG&B in 2017 as the assistant to Michael Bourret in the West Coast office. She grew up in central Pennsylvania and moved to LA to study at USC’s School of Cinematic Arts, where she graduated with a BFA in Writing for Screen & Television. Aside from good books and good TV, she’s a big fan of dogs, road trips, and coffee shops with lots of outlets.
She's seeking: Kieryn is accepting queries for all genres. In fiction, she especially loves books about exciting new worlds, found families, fantastic female characters, and stories with diverse POVs, and would love to see more LGBTQ+ characters in sci-fi and fantasy.
