About the Agency
Annie Bomke

Annie Bomke is a literary agent with over a decade of experience helping authors succeed.
Her books include
Dodging and Burning by John Copenhaver, winner of the Macavity Award for Best First Novel, and nominated for a Lammy Award, Strand Critics Award, Barry Award and Anthony Award, and the Barnes & Noble bestselling Poppy McAllister cozy mystery series by Libby Klein. She has edited a wide range of projects—from hard-nosed
business books to otherworldly historical novels. Authors have called her
the pH test for good writing, and a bedrock for literary quality control.
Annie has loved the publishing industry since her position as an Editorial Assistant at
Zoetrope: All-Story, a literary magazine founded by Francis Ford Coppola. She explored her love
of books managing Alcala Gallery, an art gallery and rare bookstore, and even had a brief stint as a
technical writer for a Department of Defense contractor.
She represents a wide variety
of adult and YA fiction and nonfiction, including commercial and literary fiction, upmarket fiction, mysteries (from hilarious cozies to gritty police procedurals and everything in between), historical fiction, women’s fiction, psychological thrillers, literary/psychological horror, self-help, business, health/diet, cookbooks, memoir, relationships, current events, psychology, and narrative nonfiction.
Annie spends her free time reading, going for walks in the park, and dancing. Her favorite authors
include Haruki Murakami, Margaret Atwood, Ray Bradbury, Tana French, and Paul Auster.
