Elise Capron is a literary agent with the Sandra Dijkstra Literary Agency, known for establishing and guiding the careers of many fiction and nonfiction authors, including Amy Tan, Lisa See, Maxine Hong Kingston, Diane Mott Davidson, Kevin Starr, Mike Davis, Chalmers Johnson and many others. For nearly 30 years SDLA has developed a reputation for discovering new talent and representing quality work with great commercial potential. She has been agenting for five years, and specializes in debut fiction, character-driven literary and offbeat fiction, and short story collections. She is also interested in selected nonfiction if it has a literary edge. In the fiction realm, she looks for unforgettable writing, a terrific narrative voice/tone, and great characters. She loves novels with an unusual or eccentric edge, and is drawn to stories she has never heard before. She hopes to work with writers who are professional, have a realistic sense of the market, and who are getting their work published regularly in literary magazines. Some of her recent and soon-to-be-published books include Jonathon Keats' The Book of the Unknown: Tales of the Lamad-Vov (Random House), Ali Liebegott's The IHOP Papers (Carroll & Graf), Peter Plate's Soon the Rest Will Fall (Seven Stories Press), and Whitney Lyles' Party Games (Simon Pulse) and First Comes Love (Berkley). She will conduct consultation appointments.
