As the first literary agent to charm BookEnds into hiring her, Kim has been an integral part of growing the agency, along with her clients' careers. Having started on the editorial side, Kim brings her knowledge of both sides of the publishing business to help strategize authors’ futures. Having worked with many bestsellers and award-winners, she loves the thrill of that first offer call to a debut author as much as the excitement of seeing a client hit the New York Times list for the first time.

Kim's reading obsession began in middle school when she raided her grandmother's collection of Phyllis Whitney books and since then she's surrounded herself with books in virtually every job she's held (with the exception of her awkward pleated khaki phase at Blockbuster.) Her tastes have always been deeply rooted in commercial storytelling, from her years as a soap opera aficionado, Nora Roberts binge reader and lover of every form of romantic comedy.

Now, with a client list including women's fiction, mystery, young adult and romance, Kim enjoys working on a wide range of books. Above all else, her goal is to see every reader from every background see themselves in stories with happily-ever-afters.

Kim gravitates toward unputdownable reads with characters she can root for. Currently she’s especially hungry for heart-wrenching but hope-filled contemporary romance and book club fiction, as well as love stories that blur into horror, suspense, or speculative fiction. She’s always in the mood for a good rom com, as long as it brings something fresh and unique to the market. Kim loves magical and supernatural elements grounded in this world, but is not a good fit for romantasy, fantasy, or science fiction.
