Lisa Gouldy is a literary agent apprentice actively building her client list with Corvisiero Literary Agency. Originally trained as an attorney, Lisa moved from the legal world into the literary one in search of stories less constrained by reality. As an apprentice with the Corvisiero Literary Agency, Lisa guides writers through the publishing process the way she once helped clients access the courts. Originally from Emmaus, Pennsylvania, Lisa currently lives in Seattle, Washington.

SEEKING: Lisa loves stories with lyrical writing, memorable characters, and fast-paced plots that keep her guessing. In adult fiction, she devours upmarket and literary titles with complex protagonists. If your book club would love it, she wants to see it! Lisa is also looking for upmarket or literary titles with speculative elements – stories set in a world much like ours, but with fantasy, sci-fi, or dystopian additions that illuminate real-life issues in a unique way. In children’s literature, Lisa particularly enjoys middle grade fantasy and young adult novels with a speculative bent, as well as high-concept picture books that make her laugh or cry.
