Kimberley Cameron & Associates - Literary Agent

Lisa Abellera joined Kimberley Cameron and Associates in 2013 with a background in management, marketing, and finance. She earned her BA in Strategic Management from Dominican University and MFA in Creative Writing from University of San Francisco. She is an alumna of Voices of Our Nations Arts (VONA) and became a member of AALA in 2020. She is committed to uplifting underrepresented voices and infusing more diversity and inclusion in books, so she is actively looking for strong female characters, diverse characters, and stories by BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and other authors who identify with underrepresented communities. Lisa responds to well-crafted prose, strong hooks, high personal stakes, complex and sympathetic characters, a tangible sense of place and lush world-building, non-Western cultural aspects/perspectives, and emotionally-immersive fiction. In fiction, she represents upmarket/book club fiction, women's fiction, historical fiction, mystery, suspense, thrillers, science fiction, fantasy, and crossover speculative fiction. With nonfiction, Lisa is only looking for prescriptive business books for women or by women.
