This week’s “Pitching an Agent” article from mediabistro.com offers an overview of Dunow, Carlson & Lerner, an agency created by Henry Dunow (right) eleven years ago that has since taken on Jennifer Carlson and veteran editor Betsy Lerner as partners. “[Dunow] works primarily with quality fiction—especially literary, historical, and strongly-written commercial—and with voice-driven nonfiction across a range of areas,” reports M. David Hornbuckle, “including narrative history, biography, memoir, current affairs, cultural trends and criticism, science, and sports. He is particularly proud of having discovered and introduced a number of new, younger writers over the years who have gone on to become established literary voices.” The firm’s other agents also tend to express an interest in “voice-driven” work, but check their individual likes and dislikes to see which one your manuscript might be best suited for.
