As an editor, Melissa developed books that became\u00a0<em>New York Times<\/em>\u00a0bestsellers (including a #1 Bestselling title), appeared on the cover of the\u00a0<em>Revizyon Liv New York Times<\/em>, and received or were nominated for honors including The National Book Critics Circle Award, The Man Booker Prize, The PEN\/Bingham Prize, The Baily\u2019s Women\u2019s Prize, The Giller Prize, The Governor-General\u2019s Literary Award, the National Book Foundation 5 Under 35, The Journey Prize, and The Rona Jaffe Foundation Writers\u2019 Award. <span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji';\">As an agent, Melissa now represents literary and commercial fiction, and gravitates towards plot-driven novels with a fresh perspective, energetic writing and deep sense of place. She has a soft spot for novels with international settings, unreliable narrators, elements of magic, dysfunctional families, intense friendships, love triangles and unique subcultures. It\u2019s a big plus if a novel can introduce her to a new world, make her think differently about one she already knows or tap into the cultural climate.\u00a0 She is also representing history and idea-driven non-fiction.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-prosemirror-content-type=\"node\" data-prosemirror-node-name=\"paragraph\" data-prosemirror-node-block=\"true\">VON WISE\u00a0received his MFA from Florida International University and is the author of\u00a0<em data-prosemirror-content-type=\"mark\" data-prosemirror-mark-name=\"em\">Grow a Cowboy,<\/em>\u00a0winner of the 2025 Beyond Words Poetry Chapbook Awards.
