With a background in theatre, film and painting, Stephany Evans began agenting in 1990 with Sandra Martin/Paraview. In 1992, she formed her own agency while serving as editor for alternative health, healing, and personal growth magazine, Free Spirit. Stephany is the ghost author of five published books, the identities of which are a loosely held secret.
For seventeen years, Stephany has represented nonfiction writers in the areas of health and wellness (especially women's health), spirituality, lifestyle (including home renovating/decorating, entertaining, food and wine), popular reference, and narrative nonfiction. In fiction, her core interest is in stories with a strong and interesting female protagonist, both literary and upmarket commercial — including chick lit, romance, mystery, and light suspense. Stephany loves to run and is interested in sports, especially women's sports (her NYC 2006 marathon time is 4:22:10). She likes to laugh and has a somewhat dark sense of humor. And she loves dogs — especially Afghan hounds. Her greatest pleasure comes from discovering a formidable new writing talent, or helping an author shape and take to market her or his potentially world-altering idea.
Stephany is a member of the Association of Author's Representatives, the Author's Guild, and Romance Writers of America; she is a member of the Women's National Book Association, and a member and former co-chair of New York Women in Publishing. She splits her time between her offices in New York City and Marfa, Texas.
