With a dozen years of collective experience as a literary agent, first at Wendy Sherman Associates and later as a Vice President at the Irene Goodman Literary Agency, Kim co-founded High Line Literary Collective and the Paper Over Board division with the goal of fostering an author-centric environment alongside a group of brilliant, diverse professionals with whom she has the utmost respect and adoration.  

Kim is passionate about discovering unique voices and making authors’ dreams come true. She has been privileged to represent award-winning, NYTimes best-selling authors throughout her career. She is particularly excited about leaders and artist’s whose point-of-view cuts through the noise and connects with readers in a way that translates into a new understanding about an important aspect of life. When she brings in a new client, her favorite part of the job is creating a clear publishing plan in lockstep with the author’s current team, big-picture career goals and future aspirations. Close communication and a common vision both creatively and strategically are at the core of all of Kim’s client relationships.  

In 2012, Kim co-authored the book Wedding Cake for Breakfast: Essays on the First Year of Marriage (Berkley). She holds an MFA degree in Creative Writing from The New School where she studied with world-renowned professional writers in the areas of fiction and nonfiction. She also received her undergraduate bachelor’s degree in Journalism from the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University.  

Kim splits her time between Westchester and NYC with her husband and puggle Bella, co-curates the popular H.I.P. Lit reading series, and loves adventures like road-tripping, whitewater rafting, and camping (fine, glamping).  

What to Submit to Kim: 

She is actively looking for large platform-driven nonfiction by authors who are well-known, renowned leaders in their fields. She represents interior design that crosses over into deep storytelling or other areas of expertise like wellness or psychology, slice-of-life memoir from personalities with a built-in audience, tasty cookbooks by badass chefs, women’s health books by mediagenic doctors and experts with strong or even contrarian messages, game-changing, “big-think” books by researchers and social psychologists, and reportage that illuminates injustice. Also, spiritual gurus, wellness books for all, conscious business and personal finance for young people, and books about adventure travel, awakening creativity, relationships, parenting and happiness.  

Once in a blue moon Kim falls in love with engaging, voice-driven literary fiction which still has a strong plot (from quirky family sagas to multi-POV ensemble casts of characters), beachy reads with odd-bird protagonists, rom-coms with a twist (even a dark one) that make her laugh out loud, or commercial women-centric fiction that's impossible to put down.  

Kim is currently closed to queries.
