Veronica Goldstein is an agent at Dunow, Carlson & Lerner with over ten years of experience, having previously worked at UTA and Fletcher & Company. She’s drawn to distinctive voices with a fresh story to tell and a strong sense of urgency, especially Americans whose stories have been underrepresented in publishing and international writers. In nonfiction, she’s looking for compelling critical takes on cultural and sociological trends and overlooked or misunderstood histories; investigative and issue-focused narrative nonfiction; and powerfully written memoir that makes the personal political and vice versa. In fiction, she looks for literary and upmarket novels with an original, contemporary voice that balance the complexities of culture and politics with can’t-put-it-down storytelling with deep emotional stakes. Her clients include Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi (A Girl is a Body of Water); Erika Howsare (The Age of Deer); Jeff Weiss (Waiting for Britney Spears); and Pria Anand (The Mind Electric). Veronica is a graduate of Occidental College, and has worked in education, academic publishing, and Spanish translation and interpretation. She lives in her hometown of Philadelphia.
