James Mustelier
Biography
James Mustelier is a literary agent with The Bent Agency. He says: “I was born in Miami, Florida, and lived in Spain, France and Italy before moving to New York. I studied Creative Writing at Florida State University and received my MFA in Creative Writing from the City College of New York, where I served as the Graduate editor of the literary journal. I’ve worked as an editorial associate at Fiction magazine and as a freelance editor.
I’m looking for both literary and commercial adult fiction. In literary fiction, I’m specifically drawn to visceral honesty coupled with a dark sense of humor. In commercial fiction I’m looking for science fiction, fantasy, horror, mystery, and thrillers. My favorite books have distinct and memorable voices that grab the reader’s attention, and a narrative gravity that permeates every action in the story.”
