Kristin Nelson is a literary agent with and the founder of the Nelson Literary Agency (2002). She says: ÒMy goal as an agent is simple: I want every client of mine to make a living solely from writing and 90% of my authors do without help from any other source of income. I established Nelson Literary Agency, LLC, in 2002 and over the last decade+ of my career, IÕve represented over forty New York Times bestselling titles and many USA Today bestsellers. Although IÕm a very nice Midwesterner, IÕve heard through the grapevine that editors call me Òa hard-working bulldog agent that will fight for you.Ó What a compliment!

When not busy selling books, IÕm quite sporty. I enjoy tennis, pickle ball, and golf. I also love playing Bridge (where surprisingly IÕm not the youngest person in the club). On weekends my husband Brian and I can be found hiking in the Mountains.
