Marisa Cleveland

Hi! Thanks for finding me here. I love working with authors who write for a broad range of readers – children and adults – within the fiction and nonfiction genres. I’m looking for manuscripts I can’t put down until the last page and can’t stop discussing with random strangers in bookstores. Voice is definitely key for me, and I want to find my best friends and partners-in-crime protagonists long after the story ends, whether it’s in this world or an alternate universe.

I’m always on the lookout for character-driven stories with strong female protagonists, no matter what age range, and if you’re curious about the authors I already represent, I love to spotlight them on my Instagram: thereisnobox.
