LITERARY AGENT


Jevon Bolden

A twenty-plus-year publishing veteran, Jevon’s work as a literary agent is powered by her unshakable belief in the life-giving power of the written word, insatiable tenacity to see the marginalized mainstreamed, deft intuition that maneuvers the once-rejected through to the right yes, and successful fourteen-year stint as a leading editor who shaped engaging messages for both children and adult, Christian and general market audiences.

Currently closed to unsolicited queries.

What Jevon Is Looking For

I’m especially drawn to voices that reflect underrepresented experiences and offer readers transformation, healing, or fresh perspective. I love working with authors who are deeply rooted in their message—those whose stories, scholarship, and spiritual or social insight challenge the status quo and call readers to growth.

I’m also drawn to messages that come from a place of deep conviction, prophetic insight, practical experience, and cultural fluency—especially from authors who pair bold ideas with social awareness, and who steward their words with care, knowing their platform is sacred and their influence carries weight.

I represent books that shape culture, stir curiosity, strengthen faith, and shift conversations.

NONFICTION (Adult)

  • Christian Living + Spiritual Growth

  • Devotionals
    Centered in wisdom, rhythm, or reflective storytelling—especially for women and faith-based audiences

  • Self-Help + Personal Development
    Inspirational, mindset-shifting, and transformative content with emotional intelligence and cultural awareness

  • Race, Culture, and Faith
    Insightful books at the intersection of identity, justice, theology, and social change—especially from Black authors and authors of color

  • Natural + Mental Health & Wellness
    Thoughtful, accessible works on emotional wellbeing, therapy, grief, resilience, holistic healing, and wellness

  • Memoir + Narrative Nonfiction (Prescriptive or Reflective)

  • Women’s Issues + Relationships
    Books that speak directly to the lives and leadership of women across seasons, roles, and relationships

I’m especially drawn to mission-driven voices who understand that compelling ideas carry influence—and steward that influence with care, curiosity, and cultural awareness.

CHILDREN’S (Fiction & Nonfiction)

I’m drawn to children’s books (picture books, MG, and select YA) that:

  • Reflect the lives, histories, and imaginations of people of color

  • Center folklore, faith, family, identity, or justice in engaging, child-centered ways

  • Introduce little-known historical figures or events with creativity and heart
