Danielle Bukowski, Agent

Danielle represents critically acclaimed, award-winning literary fiction, upmarket fiction, genre-bending commercial, SFF and narrative nonfiction. She’s looking for novels with a unique premise and high-concept hook; stylish and sparkling prose; a clever approach to an old story; speak to our current moment or are set in a historical moment that resonates with our own; the weird and surreal; characters that feel real enough you’d expect to see them out in the world when you close the page. She admires ambition in scope and research that makes the world come alive, and loves to be surprised and captivated in equal measure. Her clients have won multiple Lambda Literary Awards, Shirley Jackson Awards, and Hugo Awards, the LA Times Book Prize, the Dylan Thomas Prize, received National Book Award “5 Under 35” honors and APALA Adult Fiction honors, and have been finalists for the National Book Award, Center for Fiction First Novel Prize, VCU Cabell First Novel Prize, and more.
