Mary C. Moore

Mary C. Moore has represented the Sunday Times bestseller The Scarlet Alchemist by Kylie Lee Baker and Indie Next and Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection Auntie Q’s Golden Claws Nail Salon by Van Hoang.

Mary’s first career was in field biology, which took her around the world, from Ghana to Costa Rica to Maui, before settling at the San Francisco Zoo. But her love of books proved to be just as strong as her love of animals. While working at the zoo she earned her MFA in Creative Writing and English at Mills College, Oakland and then transitioned to a career in publishing.

Mary represents a wide range of fiction as an Aevitas agent based in the Bay Area. She likes to work with clients long-term, and is comfortable representing multiple genres/age-ranges that an author is interested in, although prefers to begin a partnership in one genre before jumping to another. In children’s she is currently looking for fresh YA voices and whimsical and tightly written MG. You can find out more about more at marycmoore.com.
