Sara is a first-class agent. Her thoughtful suggestions greatly improved my memoir. Although she ultimately decided not to represent my book, working with her was the best experience I've had as a first-time writer. She was generous with her time, encouraging, and professional.

Sara is amazing. She originally asked me to make some revisions and resubmit, and she took the time to give me some incredibly valuable feedback and some suggestions for how I might improve the manuscript--all of this without any certainty that I would resubmit or that she would ultimately represent me. She is an insightful reader and a tremendous editor. I'm thrilled that she has offered to represent me.
