Agent Roundtable
Please join agents Cameron McClure and J.L. Stermer of the Donald Maass Literary Agency as they discuss their jobs and specialties. Free and open to Paragraph members only.
Cameron McClure joined the Donald Maass Literary Agency in 2004, and handles the agency's foreign and film rights as well as her own growing client list. Previously she worked as an assistant agent for Curtis Brown. She represents mostly fiction, and is looking for projects that combine genre style plotting with literary quality writing. She's also interested in seeing literary fiction, mystery and suspense, urban fantasy (fantasy and SF set on earth), and projects with multi-cultural, international, environmental, and GBLT themes. She's drawn to non-fiction that reads like fiction, and that explores subcultures or topics that haven't quite broken into the mainstream.
J.L. Stermer joined the agency in 2007. She is seeking fiction, memoir, narrative non-fiction, pop-culture (cooking, fashion, style, music, art), smart humor, upscale erotica/erotic memoir and multi-cultural fiction/non-fiction. A graduate of Columbia University, she lives in New York City. Previously, she worked at Venture Literary.
