 ABOUT THE AGENT: Emma Fulenwider is a literary agent with Wordserve Literary. She likes working with thought leaders called to contribute their respectful insights into the problems we’re facing, and the ones we’re avoiding. She is a book junkie. From reading with a flashlight under the covers at the age of seven, her lifelong friendship with books has accumulated a Journalism degree at Cal Poly, a print magazine with Best Version Media, and a literary press with the Birren Center for Guided Autobiography. She believes that writing is a form of self-care, publishing is about serving others, and yes, you have to have a platform. A lay counselor and TEDx speaker, she brings a wealth of enthusiasm and energy to her role as a literary agent. Emma lives in California where she writes and reads and conspires with her husband to raise the two goofiest kids on Earth with the help of their mini Australian shepherd. Her greyhound is no help at all. EMMA IS SEEKING: Emma would like adult nonfiction that is funny, nerdy, helpful and true.
