Maggie Cooper

Maggie Cooper represents adult fiction and nonfiction, with an emphasis on books that make our world weirder, kinder, more joyful, or all three. Her authors’ projects have been Indie Next picks, Library Reads selections, and Lambda Award winners.

Based in Boston, Maggie came to Aevitas in 2018 after working at bookstores, small and university presses, and literary magazines. She holds a degree in English from Yale University, attended the Clarion Writers Workshop, and earned her MFA in fiction from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

Maggie is actively seeking imaginative, genre-bending literary fiction; capacious historical novels; beautifully told queer stories; and smart, feminist romance. In nonfiction, her list revolves around projects that probe our assumptions and invite readers toward nuance and care, with special attention to queer, trans, and other underrepresented experiences; narratives of culture, technology, food, and the environment; graphic memoir and journalism; and gift and illustrated books with a sense of humor or grace.
