ABOUT THE AGENT:

Madison Potter is an associate agent at P.S. Literary Agency. She has agented for the last five years at Olswanger Literary, where she most enjoyed being a strong advocate for her clients. 

​Following a BA in journalism, she copyedited various print publications within the wellness industry, reviewed titles for 
Publishers Weekly, and purchased children’s literature for a New York bookstore. Outside of publishing, her background has focused on digital marketing for both global brands and nonprofit organizations. When not living in fictionalized worlds, she enjoys cooking with her husband and pairing long walks with folksy playlists.

MADISON IS SEEKING:

Madison is currently acquiring genre fiction, upmarket fiction with commercial appeal, and non-fiction.

On the fiction side, she enjoys stories with dystopian settings that explore human interaction with increasing technology; cozy fantasies with warmth and high fantasies with court politics or moral ambiguity; sweeping romances or those with unconventional pairings, such as slasher romcom or horror romances; and strange, cozy horror.

In the speculative space, she is particularly interested in mythical creatures that go against norms or plots that subvert typical tropes. She also welcomes high-concept genre mashups or weird girl fiction — particularly anything with a surrealism and an unreliable narrator. On the non-fiction side, she is looking for poetic, identity-driven memoirs in the vein of 
Crying in H Mart / To Shake the Sleeping Self or narrative non-fiction that relies on investigative journalism, à la Mary Roach or Erik Larson.
