Lauren Bajek is a literary agent with Liza Dawson Associates.

Lauren joined Liza Dawson Associates as an assistant in 2021. Previously, she was a bookseller and the science fiction and fantasy buyer for the Elliott Bay Book Company.

What Lauren is looking for:

Lauren represents adult science fiction, fantasy, and horror, as well as upmarket fiction, mystery, and romance with speculative elements. She represents very select science/nature nonfiction, but she does not represent children’s books or YA. Across the board, she is drawn to literary prose, queer and trans elements, puzzle and discovery plots, and an ambitious sense of imagination. She is particularly interested in translation, ecology, and werewolves.
