Lauren Spieller

Hello! I represent an exciting and talented list of award winning and bestselling authors. On the kidlit side, I represent MG and YA, along with crossover novels that walk the line between YA and Adult. Whatever the age category or genre, I’m passionate about representing diverse and underrepresented voices, and I’m always on the hunt for a new point of view.

I consider myself an editorial agent. I provide support and insight at all stages of a book’s creation, tailoring the way I work to the client’s needs. I am also a fierce advocate and negotiator. It’s important to me that my clients not just succeed in selling one book, but many, and that I do everything I can to help them have a long, creatively satisfying career. That means being strategic about which projects they write, the brand they are developing, and the way we pursue foreign, audio, and film/TV deals. (I also have lots of random advice ready to go. Like that time I taught a client who lives in CA how to remove ice from her windshield using a credit card. I’m full service!)

I have a BA and a MA in English because I just couldn’t get enough of books. I’m also the author of two Young Adult novels entitled Your Destination Is on the Left and She’s the Worst. Both are published by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers. When I’m not working, you can find me playing with my mini goldendoodle, Louise, or binge watching something funny or thrilling.
