Slider Editor
Pam became a literary agent when she realized her favorite part of the publishing business was working closely with authors and artists, helping them to shape not only their stories, but also their careers. She got her start in publishing as an editor, working for over a decade at Hachette Book Group and went on to serve as the Editorial Director at children’s media startup Rebel Girls before shifting gears.
As an agent, Pam aims to sign authors, not just individual books, and she believes in collaboration, communication, creativity, and mutual respect. She is a graduate of NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study where she crafted her own major combining studies in art history, linguistics, and folklore. This has led to an eclectic list of clients, writing in all categories from children’s and YA, to adult SFF, “weird” fiction, and contemporary rom-com. Pam’s authors love the collaborative process of finessing their projects from idea to finished manuscript with her, and appreciate her tenacious drive to find every book the right home. She brings an inscrutable eye for detail to every story she gets her hands on, and her prior experience at a publishing house gives her insight into how editors think, and what they’re looking for.
In her life outside of books (as if!), Pam is an aspiring art collector, avid window shopper, experimental baker, and Pilates enthusiast slowly fixing up the antique house she lives in with her husband, son, and feline familiars.
BREAD & BUTTER
I gravitate towards stories that are cinematic and slightly left of center, with a strong hook and elevated yet accessible writing — often with a strong sense of humor.
WISHLIST
Middle grade contemporary à la the 8-year-old girl who drove herself to Target
YA with the vibes of an Olivia Rodrigo song
Adult spec fic with a Studio Ghibli aura
Genre mashups — HorrorMance, anyone?
Unexpected takes on familiar stories, like Kevin Can F*ck Himself
Dystopia for adult readers
Platform or expert-driven nonfiction on aging & style
TASTE SCALE
No matter the genre or audience, I’m drawn to work that’s gripping from page one, whether that’s due to the voice, world building, or premise. I love the thrill of discovery and I’m looking for those stop-everything-tell-everyone reads that will keep me up at night until they sell!
