Description
MEET AN AGENT at StoryStudio’s 2026 Pub Crawl
NOTE: This add-on MUST be purchased with an all-access ticket to Pub Crawl.
Joanna MacKenzie is a Sr. Agent with Nelson Literary Agency where she represents authors writing for both the adult and children’s markets across all areas of fiction. She is drawn to vivid, engaging writing and is particularly interested in high concept thrillers (with a soft spot for speculative and anything that challenges tropes) , voicey mysteries, dark academia, stories that straddle genres, and women’s fiction where the personal intersects with the world at large – if any of these are set in the Midwest, all the better. Across the board, she’s looking for works that highlight under-represented voices. Her authors are New York Times and USA Today bestsellers, Edgar and Anthony Award winners, and critically acclaimed storytellers.
Joanna MacKenzie meetings will be scheduled on Thursday 2/26 – Saturday 2/28 in the morning.
- 10 minute meeting
- Agents/editors will offer verbal feedback on 1 page query + first 3 pages of manuscript
