Sharon Pelletier

Born and raised in the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan, Sharon Pelletier moved to New York in 2009 and joined Dystel, Goderich & Bourret in 2013 after working for Europa Editions and Barnes & Noble. She brings experience in marketing and production as well as extensive editorial expertise to her work as an agent.

While her interests are broad, Sharon is especially seeking upmarket fiction where a literary focus on craft meets a commercial attention to a propulsive plot with realistic, fully developed characters whose emotional tensions are relatable even when their circumstances are unusual. Favorite fiction categories include suspense and book club fiction. On the nonfiction side, Sharon is eager for compelling, fierce narrative nonfiction by journalists and experts and select platform-based practical nonfiction. In all categories, she particularly welcomes marginalized voices.
