Jon Sternfeld

Agent with The Irence Goodman Literary Agency

http://irenegoodman.com/

A former creative writing and literature teacher, Jon Sternfeld is a book lover, first and foremost; he views agenting as an extension of this passion. Jon is looking for literary fiction (including well-researched dramas and historical thrillers) and narrative non-fiction that deals with historical, social, or cultural issues. He has a particular interest in fiction that has a large, ambitious canvas (exploring a time, place, or culture) or non-fiction that does the same. Always up for an adventure, Jon once canoed the entire length of the Mississippi River and sold a new author for a hefty six figures--but not in the same week.
