MELISSA DANACZKO

Melissa Danaczko is a literary agent with the Stuart Krichevsky Literary Agency. Prior to agenting, she was a Senior Editor with the Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group.

Melissa focuses on literary and commercial fiction, and is particularly fond of historical fiction, psychological thrillers, mystery, speculative fiction and family dramas. She also represents non-fiction including memoir, narrative history, long-form reportage and popular science. In all categories, she gravitates towards books with a fresh perspective, energetic writing and deep sense of place. It’s a big plus if a book can introduce her to a new world, make her think differently about one she already knows or tap into the cultural climate.
