http://www.foundrymedia.com/team/index.html

After graduating from Brown University, Mollie began her publishing career as a literary scout, advising foreign publishers regarding the acquisition of rights to American books. She then worked as an editor at the Crown imprint of Random House, before switching over to “the other side” and becoming an agent at JVNLA (The Jean V. Naggar Literary Agency) in 2003. She joined the Foundry Media team in September, 2008. Mollie's list includes literary fiction, narrative non-fiction, and a bit of practical non- fiction. She's particularly interested in fiction that bridges the literary/commercial divide, combining strong writing with a great plot, YA, and non-fiction dealing with popular science, medicine, psychology, cultural history, memoir and current events. She's very hands-on, working collaboratively with her authors to refine their projects, then focusing on identifying just the right editors for the submissions. Some of her recent sales include New York Times bestseller Jonathan Evison’s WEST OF HERE to Algonquin, Rhonda Riley’s ADAM HOPE to Ecco, Dr. Tracy Alloway’s THE NEW IQ to The Free Press, Josephine Angelini’s STARCROSSED series to Harper, and Gennifer Albin’s CREWEL to Farrar, Strauss & Giroux.

In addition to her work as a literary agent, Mollie also teaches classes on non-fiction proposal writing at Media Bistro, and her instructional articles on non-fiction proposal writing and query letter writing have been featured will be featured in Writers Digest.
