Mary C. Moore

Mary C. Moore has represented the Nebula-nominated The Unbroken by C.L. Clark (Orbit, 2021) and NPR’s Books We Love pick The Stardust Grail by Yume Kitasei (Flatiron, 2024).

Mary’s first career was in field biology, which took her around the world, from Ghana to Costa Rica to Maui, before settling at the San Francisco Zoo. But her love of books proved to be just as strong as her love of animals. While working at the zoo she earned her MFA in Creative Writing and English at Mills College, Oakland and made a career change to publishing.

Mary represents a wide range of fiction as an Aevitas agent based in the Bay Area. She likes to work with clients long-term, and is comfortable representing multiple genres/age-ranges that an author is interested in, although prefers to begin a partnership in one genre before jumping to another. She is currently hoping to find layered and deeply satisfying upmarket fiction, bookclub fiction with light speculative elements, and SFF stories with fresh worlds and nuanced themes. Her taste is eclectic, so if you are unsure, query her anyway. You can find out more about more at marycmoore.com.
