Barbara Poelle-Literary Agent
Irene Goodman Literary Agency

Barbara Poelle

February 13, 2010

Pyramid Alehouse, Brewery and Restaurant
901 Gilman St. , Berkeley, CA


Originally from the west coast, Barbara Poelle worked for a Bay Area Publisher before accepting the offer to join Irene’s team. A voracious reader and award winning debater, Barbara is not only able to devour manuscripts, but fight for them as well... and her very brief stint as a stand-up comic comes in handy for those particularly raucous debates --both in the office and at home. With her strong background in editing and copywriting, Barbara has no qualms about helping writers turn a “maybe” into a “yes”, and values client communication above all else. Barbara is passionate about thrillers, mysteries, historical romance, and humorous non-fiction, but will be a proud promoter of any writer with a strong, unique voice.

Barbara will be discussing among other things ways to make your query stand out from the crowd. More details to come.
