www.publishersmarketplace.com/members/SorcheFairbank

Since establishing Fairbank Literary Representation in 2002, Sorche Elizabeth Fairbank has had the pleasure of working with a dynamic and varied list, representing best-selling authors, Edgar recipients, award-winning journalists, and of course one of her favorite kinds of client - the debut author. Her tastes in novels tend toward literary fiction, international voices, and women's voices. She will also freely admit to a weakness for unique Southern voices. On the nonfiction side, she is most likely to take on books that tackle current events and topical and societal issues with a narrative treatment. She has a strong interest in women's voices and class and race issues, quality lifestyle books (food, wine, and home design), memoir that goes beyond the me-moir, and humor, gift books, and pop culture. Authors and books represented by Fairbank Literary include: O. Henry Prize winner Charlotte Forbes; Pulitzer nominee and LA Times Cairo Bureau Chief Jeffrey Fleishman; Edgar winner Rex Burns, Matthew Frederick and his best-selling 101 Things I Learned series; Georgia Author of the Year Man Martin (Days of the Endless Corvette, Paradise Dogs), Eudora Welty prize for Fiction winner Miroslav Penkov (East of the West), Travis Bradford, CEO of Richard Branson's Carbon War Room and author of Solar Revolution; Darci Klein's To Full Term, A Mother's Triumph Over Miscarriage; Jonathan McCullough's A Tale Of Two Subs: An Untold Story Of World War II, Two Sister Ships, And Extraordinary Heroism; Robert McKinnon, founder of Yellow Brick Road and editor of Legacy: Keeping Our Promise for a Better World, a collection of essays by such luminaries as Jimmy Carter, Bill McKibben, Mia Hamm, Dave Eggers, and others, Essayist Jessica Handler (Invisible Sisters). Humor and gift book clients include Chuck Sambuchino (How To Survive a Garden Gnome Attack), Terry Border and his Bent Objects empire, and Carl Warner (Carl Warner's Food Landscapes).
