Stephanie Winter has been promoted to Associate Agent at P.S. Literary, and like all new agents, she needs authors. Stephanie first joined the agency at an intern before becoming the agency’s relations assistant. Stephanie holds a BA in English Lit from the University of Toronto and an MA in English: Issues in Modern Culture from University College London. 

Stephanie is acquiring both fiction and nonfiction. She particularly appreciate strong characters who bend stereotypes, genders and more.

Within fiction, she’s actively seeking diverse and inclusive representation in Upmarket, Commercial, Historical, and Women’s Fiction, and also urban and magical fantasies, cozy mysteries, dramatic comedies, light romances, and genre-bending narratives.

Within nonfiction, she’s interested in Humour, Pop Culture, Pop Psychology, Memoir, cultural or event-base History, select Dessert Cookbooks, LBTQ+ narratives, and essay collections.
