I am a literary agent with Joelle Delbourgo Associates (www.delbourgo.com) representing thought-provoking non-fiction in business, history, self-help, memoir, current events, science, and more, as well as very select fiction and children's titles. I get excited about authors who offer unique perspectives and challenge conventional wisdom and cookie-cutter solutions. I wake up every day hoping to find something and someone wonderful!

I also represent select ghost writers, particularly those with deep experience writing business books. If you are such a ghost writer or in need of an excellent business writer I'd love to meet you!

Before becoming an agent, I was Executive Editor at Amacom Books where I edited business, science, technology, parenting and personal development books. I hold a Bachelor of Arts from Bucknell University where I majored in International Relations and rowed on the Women’s Crew team. I am a Hockey Mom, knitter, and avid hiker who lives in Northern New Jersey with my husband and two sons.
