Maggie Cooper

Maggie Cooper is an agent with Aevitas Creative Management, representing adult fiction and select nonfiction projects that make our world weirder, kinder, more joyful, or all three. She holds a degree in English from Yale University, attended the Clarion Writers Workshop, and earned her MFA in fiction from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, where she served as an editor for The Greensboro Review. Prior to becoming an agent, she worked in the world of independent and university presses, as a bookseller, and as a teacher to students ages 10 through 85. Based in Boston, Maggie is seeking imaginative, genre-bending literary fiction; beautifully told queer and trans stories; and smart, feminist commercial novels. Her other loves include unclassifiable book projects, food and cookbooks, and work by writers traditionally underrepresented in mainstream publishing.
