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.

What Jevon Is Looking For

Jevon loves exceptional adult nonfiction, contemporary upmarket fiction, and children’s literature that approach a variety of topics with unique thoughtfulness and care—from faith to business, career, and self-improvement to simply how to live life well with others and yourself on this planet.
