Sharon Pelletier joined Dystel, Goderich & Bourret in 2013 after working in editorial at small presses and as a B&N bookseller, was named senior agent in 2021, and named vice president in 2024. Born and raised in the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan, Sharon has lived in New York since 2009, but often returns to visit the Midwest and dreams of living by the ocean one day. Sharon’s list includes New York Times bestsellers, Reese’s Book Club and Read With Jenna picks, NYT Notable Book of the Year authors, and many Indie Next List titles, representing authors including Regina Black, Layne Fargo, Charlotte McConaghy, Heather Aimee O’Neill and many more talented novelists. She’s always seeking upmarket fiction of all sorts, from smart, complex women’s fiction; to unexpected suspense fiction and romance; to hearty, unforgettable book club fiction. She also occasionally takes on compelling, fierce narrative nonfiction by journalists, experts, or emerging voices with a promising platform. Visit her profile on MSWL for more wishlist detail.
