Theresa began her career as a literary agent at Sanford J. Greenburger Associates in 1994. (Prior to that, she was an attorney at Cooley Godward, a Silicon Valley law firm.) She represents a mixture of plot-driven fiction and serious nonfiction. Some of her clients include Nicholas Sparks, Debbie Macomber, Emily Giffin, Laura Zigman, Linda Nichols, Robert Whitaker, Lee Silver, B.R. Myers, and Thomas Levenson. A graduate of U.C. Santa Cruz and Harvard Law School, she is married and has two children.

Eager to work with emerging and established talent, Abigail is currently looking to add to her list of diverse and engaging authors. She is seeking projects about popular science, history, politics, current events and art, while her passion for travel also makes her a natural fit for adventure and travel narrative non-fiction. She is also interested in working with commercial fiction, especially superb thrillers and mysteries. As the Foreign Rights Director, she continues to build on her prior experience with agent Nicholas Ellison, as well as her time with EF Education, a multinational corporation based in Sweden. Abigail is a graduate of Boston University.

Amanda joined the Park Literary Group in early 2008 and serves as support for the agency's clients in reasearching digital publishing and managing online publicity and promotion. She is committed to helping the agency become a pioneer on the digital frontier, and brings her experience working in publishing and in public relations to help Park Literary's clients best promote themselves through digital platforms. Amanda only occasionally considers projects for representation, mostly in the area of commerical fiction and nonfiction for women. She accepts queries online only. Amanda graduated from Barnard College with a B.A. in European History. Prior to joining the Park Literary Group, she worked at International Creative Management and Sterling Lord Literistic.

After five and a half years practicing law at King & Spalding in Washington DC, Emily joined the Park Literary Group as the Director of Business Affairs in early 2009. In addition to providing legal and business support to the agency, she also serves as the liaison to the film and media industries with the goal of helping our clients fully develop their careers. Emily does not represent clients for publishing, and does not accept queries. An avid reader of both non-fiction and fiction, particularly biographies, mysteries, and historical and contemporary fiction, she enjoys working in a creative industry. After receiving a B.A. in Political Science and Women’s Studies from Denison University in Granville, Ohio, Emily later earned her J.D. from the University of Maryland School of Law.
