Kim Lindman is a Literary Agent at Stonesong, having joined the agency in 2018. Originally from the West Coast, Kim studied English Literature with a subfocus in Journalism at Seattle Pacific University, where she worked as a copyeditor. After moving to the NYC area, she worked as a researcher for the United Nations, then as a freelance copywriter and editor, in tandem with bartending and food service jobs. This combination of experience, along with her Project Management (NYU) and Publishing (CUNY) Certificates, provides a unique advantage in the culinary and non-fiction spaces. In non-fiction, Kim represents and is actively looking for: platform- or expertise-driven cookbooks, cocktail books, investigative journalism, social justice, social science, pop science, pop culture, self-help and wellness. While she is primarily drawn to books with some level of practical elements and actionable takeaways, she is also looking for narrative non-fiction that adds nuanced perspective to broad topics or that makes niche subjects accessible and engaging for a general audience. Kim is currently closed to fiction queries aside from referrals and conference visits. Her favorite novels toe the line of speculative and literary. A well-plotted element of mystery is a plus.
