Kevan has been with the Dijkstra Agency since 2004. She handles women’s fiction, with an emphasis on commercial women’s fiction and all genres of romantic fiction. Her particular interest is historical fiction of all types. She is also interested in non-fiction representing authors in the areas of memoir, pets, environment, parenting and current events. Kevan holds an MBA from the Anderson School of Management at UCLA and comes to the agency with 17 years of experience on the retail and distribution side of the publishing business. Her background on the buying and retail side of publishing affords her unique insight into what types of books will sell and how to market them.

A few of Kevan’s recent and soon to be published books include WHISPER OF WARNING, by Laura Griffin (Pocket Books, 2009); HER LADYSHIP’S COMPANION by Evangeline Collins (Berkley 2009); HAUNTING JORDAN, by PJ Alderman (Bantam 2009).
