Lauren E. Abramo joined DGB in 2005 after getting a BA in English at NYU and an MA in Irish Studies at NUI Galway. As VP and Subsidiary Rights Director for the agency she represents a small list of clients and sells rights across the agency. As rights director, she’s sold hundreds of audiobooks and thousands of foreign editions in more than 60 languages and countries. Her personal client list includes award winners, #1 New York Times bestsellers, and books adapted for television and film. Lauren’s interest spans a wide range of categories and genres, with a focus on books by and about people from communities not well represented in publishing. In YA fiction, she is most eagerly looking for contemporary, romance, and thrillers. In adult fiction, her list is primarily smart, accessible fiction in categories such as suspense, romance, book club fiction, and general fiction. Her adult nonfiction list spans many categories, especially where they intersect with social justice, particularly pop culture, psychology, pop science, reportage, media, and contemporary culture.
