My path to founding Singing Dark Literary Agency has been shaped by a lifelong devotion to literature and a deep-seated belief in the transformative power of storytelling. As someone who has always found solace and truth in words, I've embarked on this new chapter with a clear purpose: to ensure that vital voices – particularly those speaking from society's margins – find their way to readers who need to hear them. While literary agency may be a new path for me, my commitment to amplifying underrepresented voices stems from a profound belief in equality of opportunity and the power of shared stories.
This journey is deeply personal. Through correspondence and friendship with writers from diverse backgrounds, including those who are currently incarcerated, I've witnessed firsthand how storytelling can bridge seemingly insurmountable divides. These connections have reinforced my conviction that literature serves as both a mirror and a window, allowing us to see ourselves in others' experiences while glimpsing worlds we might never otherwise know.
The relationships I build with my clients go beyond traditional agent-author dynamics. I believe that genuine human connection is essential to nurturing powerful writing. My friendships around the world have taught me that creativity flourishes in unexpected places, and that understanding different perspectives is crucial to bringing important stories to light.
When I'm not advocating for my authors, you might find me exploring local art galleries, seeking inspiration in the way different art forms can express the depth of human experience. This appreciation for creative expression across mediums enriches my approach to literary representation and reinforces my belief that every person has a story worth telling.
I founded Singing Dark with the vision of creating not just a literary agency, but a home for voices that deserve to be heard. If you have a story that needs telling, I'm here to listen.
