nonfiction authors, such as biographer, New York Times bestseller

domestic and foreign rights after years of working with many of the
agency's clients. He

Jessica
Papin rejoined
Dystel and Goderich Literary Management, after a three-year hiatus in Egypt, where she worked for the
American University in Cairo Press, where she oversaw the
international rights sales of such authors as Nobel Laureate Naguib
Mahfouz and international best-selling author Alaa Al Aswany. She
first joined Dystel and Goderich as an agent in 2003, after spending
seven years as an acquiring editor at Warner Books. With a
background on both sides of the proverbial desk, Jessica is as
hands-on as an agent as she was as an editor; she loves working
collaboratively with clients to shape and refine their work. Her
stay in the Middle East (she still represents many works of modern
Arab literature through the AUC Press) has given her an abiding
interest in the history and politics of the region, as well as the
broader Islamic world. She is interested in literary and smart
commercial fiction, narrative non-fiction, history with a thesis,
medicine, science and religion. In every case, she looks for
passion, erudition, and storytelling skill. She is also interested
in health, psychology, and women’s issues.
