Kendall Berdinsky is a literary agent with Dystel, Goderich & Bourret, LLC. A native Texan, she fell in love with the Junie B. Jones books she discovered in kindergarten and has been an avid reader ever since. She is a graduate of the University of Oklahoma, where she earned her bachelorÕs degree in professional writing with a minor in English literature. During her junior year abroad, she interned in the childrenÕs department at Simon & Schuster UK; after graduation, she served as an editorial assistant at Foundry Literary + Media and attended the Columbia Publishing Course.

She is not taking on clients at this time, but in the future, would be interested in seeing upmarket romance, book club fiction, historical fiction, and narrative nonfiction. Overall, she is looking for work from underrepresented communities with new stories to tell.
