Before joining Trident Media in 2020 as an assistant to Don Fehr and Ellen Levine, Audrey Crooks was an intern at the Frances Goldin Literary Agency, a bookseller, and lived in Jordan while working for a nonprofit serving Gazan women refugees.

As an Associate Agent who works closely with Ellen Levine, Audrey is seeking literary fiction, speculative fiction, story collections, international works, and upmarket and genre fiction with a literary bent. She is drawn to smart, character-driven stories with a sense of humor and style, and welcomes the surreal and fiction that explores gender, language, identity, built and natural environments, and/or systems of power in creative and compelling ways.

For nonfiction submissions, Audrey is looking for memoir, narrative nonfiction, cultural criticism, and human-centered journalistic deep-dives, with particular interests in food and dining, fashion, nightlife, dance, the cultures of the contemporary Middle East, and the American South. Audrey’s academic background is in poetry and Middle Eastern Studies.
