Welcome

Michael Larsen – Elizabeth Pomada Literary Agents is Northern California’s oldest literary agency, helping writers launch careers since 1972.

Members of the Association of Authors’ Representatives, Elizabeth–who represents commercial, women’s, and literary fiction, plus narrative non-fiction–and Michael–who handles prescriptive non-fiction–have sold hundreds of books to more than one hundred publishers. They are also the co-founders of the San Francisco Writers Conference and the Writing for Change Conference. Senior Agent Laurie McLean joined the agency in 2005 to represent adult genre fiction and children’s middle-grade and young adult books and has sold nearly 100 books in that time. She is also the Dean of San Francisco Writers University. Lindsey Clemons joined as an associate agent in 2009 representing mystery/thrillers and literary fiction. And Kat Salazar joined in 2011 as an associate agent representing children’s picture books, easy readers, chapter books, middle-grade, and young adult books. For adult audiences she is interested in both fiction and non-fiction. And finally Pam van Hylckama Vlieg is our newest associate agent specializing in middle grade and young adult children’s books plus adult romance novels.
