Madeline represents literary and upmarket fiction and select narrative nonfiction and memoir. She’s drawn to beautiful writing, propulsive plot, and dynamic characters. She loves literary mysteries and thrillers, multigenerational family stories, smart coming-of-age narratives, and grounded speculative elements used to elevate a plot. She’s particularly drawn to rural settings and doesn’t shy away from a gritty character. Some of her favorite authors include Donna Tartt, Jhumpa Lahiri, Liz Moore, Lily King, Ruth Ozeki, Addie Citchens, and Janelle Brown.

Born and raised in Central New York, Madeline joined Janklow & Nesbit in 2022. Her clients have won the Carole Shields Prize, the International Booker Award, and the CWA Dagger for crime fiction in translation. In addition to developing her own list, she supports J&N Partner PJ Mark, managing audio rights, excerpt placements, and short story submissions for his award-winning and critically acclaimed clients. Prior to J&N, she held roles at the Jean V. Naggar Agency, Writers House, and the Hunter College Elementary School Library. She holds a degree in English Literature and classical piano from Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon.
