2004. With an even split of fiction and nonfiction, she chooses
the books she represents based on the narrative voice and strength
of writing. Faye works with previously published as well as
first-time authors, and her tastes are wide-ranging. She is
a member of the Association of Authors’ Representatives. |

A note from Faye:
Born and raised in Denver, CO, I graduated magna cum laude from
Wellesley College with degrees in English and Latin American
Studies. After spending time in Central and South America, I
attended the Radcliffe Publishing Course and subsequently moved
New York to work as the assistant to one of the most powerful
agents in the industry. There, I learned, up close and personal,
what it meant to be an agent. Part advocate, part editor, part
entrepreneur - all the parts added up to something I loved.
I went on to become an agent at two other agencies, and in the
process have had the opportunity to work with some true luminaries.
In 2004, with a wonderful stable of authors, I formed the Faye
Bender Literary Agency.
Working with authors has been a tremendous source of joy for me, and I have the
utmost respect for the creative endeavor of writing. Over the years, I have spoken
at writers' conferences across the country, from Maui to Philadelphia, Detroit to
Portland, Tucson to Myrtle Beach. I build long-lasting relationships with my
authors, and offer aggressive and thorough representation.
