Lauren Liebow is interested in representing authors across literary and upmarket fiction as well as non-fiction. In fiction, she is drawn to projects that feature voice-driven narratives and is most fascinated by genre-bending novels written in beautiful prose. She’s looking for timeless stories that explore topics such as migration, family, socioeconomic inequality, and speculative worlds that also expose complicated truths about our own world. She’s also interested in working on nonfiction projects, focusing on narrative nonfiction, memoir, and investigative journalism. Across all genres, she’s keenly interested in books that uplift historically underrepresented voices. Based in New York, Lauren graduated with honors from the United States Military Academy at West Point, where she received a BS in English Literature. She served as a commissioned Army officer in El Paso, TX, and worked as an English writing tutor before joining Aevitas. **Please note that Lauren does not represent children’s books or YA novels.
