Maggie Cooper

I’ve been an agent with Aevitas Creative Management since 2018, representing adult fiction and nonfiction animated by imagination, empathy, and joy. Based in Boston, I hold a degree in English from Yale University, attended the Clarion Writers Workshop, and earned an MFA in fiction from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, where I served as an editor for The Greensboro Review.

I am seeking genre-bending literary fiction; beautifully told queer stories; and smart, feminist vacation reads. My other passions include unclassifiable book projects, narrative books about food and cooking, and well earned happy endings—particularly for characters underrepresented in mainstream publishing. Across the board, I hope to represent projects that make our world weirder, kinder, more joyful, or all three.

With very few exceptions, I don’t represent YA or children’s books, and I rarely read or work on thrillers; true crime; or memoirs without a researched, reported, or critical element.
