Claire Elliot is an associate agent at FinePrint Literary Management. Claire grew up in Philly, volunteering at local bookstores and at the Free Public Library before eventually finding her way to agenting at FinePrint. In addition to working as an agent, she is also a PhD candidate at the University of Pennsylvania, where she's studying modern Theravada Buddhist practice in Thailand and Sri Lanka. 

SEEKING: In fiction, I represent YA, NA, and Adult, in most commercial genres, including especially fantasy, historical, thriller, and mystery. I'm especially interested in books set in non-western settings (real or fantasy settings inspired by), and in books about flawed people up to no good, and in characters who were not born heroes, but choose to be. In Non-fiction, I'm interested in pop-science books that use data to tell clear stories, and in narrative nonfiction that walks the line between long-form journalism and ethnography. I'm also keen to discuss dissertation-to-book projects. I'm not the right person for memoir, theology books, or manifestos.
