Kerry Sparks joined LGR in 2008. Coming to publishing after several years in the film and television industry, she often gravitates toward books that have a cinematic feel or visual element that lend to film or television adaptation. Kerry’s clients include NYT bestselling, award-winning, and critically acclaimed writers. She represents a wide range of fiction and nonfiction and is always on the hunt for books that combine a solid hook, great writing, and that have an undeniably fresh but also relatable voice.

Kerry grew up in rural Oregon building tree forts, swimming in any and all bodies of water, and taking a lot of roadtrips. As the middle child of three sisters, she is an expert at both make believe and conflict resolution, so agenting comes naturally to her. She graduated with honors from California State University, Los Angeles with a degree in English and Creative Writing, where she also published short stories and wrote and produced plays. Kerry is the co-author of the hipster baby name book Hello, My Name Is Pabst and will gladly help clients name their characters upon request.
