This event is for students in the Zell Writers' Program only.
Alexa Stark joined Trident in 2012, and spent the first few years working with Ellen Levine and her illustrious authors. She was soon promoted to First Serial Associate and sold stories, essays, and book excerpts to The New Yorker, Harper’s, Paris Review, The Atlantic, Tin House, N+1, and The New York Times, among others.
Alexa is now actively growing her own client list, representing a range of literary and upmarket fiction as well as select nonfiction. She is particularly drawn to literary debuts with a unique voice and perspective, stories about dysfunctional friendships and families, edgy coming-of-age tales, character-driven suspense and thrillers, and fiction that delves into the surreal. Above all, she’s looking for assured prose, captivating storytelling, and characters that come alive. On the nonfiction side, she is drawn to narrative nonfiction, cultural criticism, voice-driven essay collections, popular science, psychology, and women’s issues.
Raised in New York City, Alexa earned her B.A. in Comparative Literature and Society at Columbia University. Before joining Trident, she worked at PEN American Center and Curtis Brown. She lives in Brooklyn.
