Sydney has spent her decade-long career in publishing advocating for authors and uniting them with the time, resources, money, and people it takes to create, market, and publish exceptional books. Before establishing her own literary agency, Sydney was one of the youngest Executive Editors at HarperCollins where she had a knack for anticipating trends and editing complex writing into clear, entertaining, and persuasive finished books. In that role, she collaborated with legendary individuals of every background and expertise. Under Sydney’s editorial guidance, her authors’ books have become #1 New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and International bestsellers, have been selected for Oprah’s Book Club, and been awarded starred reviews from trade journals like Kirkus and PW. Her authors have been featured on TODAY, Good Morning America, Fox & Friends, 60 Minutes, and PBS, and been the subject of features on NPR, in the Atlantic and The New Yorker, and more.

Known for her energy, enthusiasm, organization, and straightforward nature, Sydney brings these core traits and values to every project she represents.
