Henry Dunow, Jennifer Carlson, and
Betsy Lerner formed Dunow, Carlson
& Lerner Literary Agency in 2005. The agency represents literary and
commercial fiction, a wide range of nonfiction, and children's literature for
all ages. The agency works with established networks of co-agents to represent
translation rights in all foreign territories in addition to film, television,
and audio rights.
There are twelve agents working
with the agency and eleven of them are open to queries, but if you’re a new
author the following five may be your best bets:
Eleanor Jackson has been agenting since 2002. Previously, she was an agent at
Markson Thoma and at InkWell Management. She is a graduate of Colby College and
the Columbia Publishing course. She lives in Brooklyn New York.
Her list includes authors of fiction {including our friend Tanaz Bhathena} and nonfiction in a wide range of categories, including literary, commercial, memoir, art, food, science, and history.
She looks for books with deeply imagined worlds, and for writers who
take risks. “I believe a good book should wake you up by
taking you out of your life and immersing you in someone else’s,” says Eleanor.
“So I want to read books with deeply imagined worlds, by writers who are not
afraid to take risks with their work.”
Please paste the first ten pages of your manuscript into your query. No
attachments.
Arielle Datz started as an intern at Dunow, Carlson, & Lerner in 2011.
She then worked in the foreign rights department at William Morris Endeavor, followed by two years
at the Elizabeth Kaplan Literary Agency. She returned to DCL Agency in 2015.
She is looking for fiction (adult, YA, or middle-grade), both literary
and commercial.
In nonfiction, she is looking for essays, unconventional memoir, pop
culture, and sociology.
She’s on Twitter here.
Please paste the first ten pages of your manuscript into your query. No
attachments.
Rachel Vogel began her career in publishing in 2004, with stints as a
production editor at Henry Holt and as a book scout at Maria B.
Campbell Associates. She went on to agent at Lipincott Massie McQuilkin, Mary Evans,
Inc. (where she was also the director of foreign rights), and Waxman
Leavell Literary Agency.
Rachel represents nonfiction of all kinds, including photography, humour, pop culture, memoir, investigative journalism / current events,
science, and more.
On the fiction side, she seeks out novels that pay equal
attention to voice and plot.
A graduate of UMass Amherst's Commonwealth College, she lives in
Brooklyn, and is on Twitter here.

Yishai Seidman joined Dunow,
Carlson, & Lerner in 2009 after stints at Artists & Artisans and Writers
House. He grew up in Philadelphia and has since moved to New York City, where
he earned his degree from Yeshiva University.
Yishai’s list focuses on distinctive fiction where literary and genre
often intersect.
He’s also looking for creative nonfiction on history, sports, music,
humor, and pop culture.
He is a sucker for unconventional narratives that aim to do
something unique and inventive.
Yishai’s on twitter here.

Edward Necarsulmer IV began his career in book publishing as an intern at Random
House Books for Young Readers. He went on to assist Marilyn E. Marlow at Curtis
Brown Ltd. and then joined the McIntosh & Otis agency in 2004 to oversee
their children's literature business.
He is known for cultivating strong new voices in teen and middle grade
as well as picture books. He represents New York Times Bestselling, Newbery,
and Caldecott winning authors, illustrators, and estates. He is keen to
continue to team up with authors and artists who wish to look beyond the
obvious and strive for the exceptional.
