Bio
Bridget Smith is an associate agent and all-around assistant at Dunham Literary, Inc.
Previously,
she was an intern at Don Congdon Associates, worked at a secondhand
book store in Connecticut, and evaluated short story submissions for
Tor.com under Liz Gorinsky and Patrick Nielsen Hayden.
She
graduated from Brown University in 2010. While there, she studied
anthropology and archaeology, worked as a radio DJ, fenced on the
varsity team, and helped design an experiment that she later performed
in microgravity at NASA (as seen on Twitter), so it’s fair to say she
has pretty wide-ranging interests. Currently she reads, runs, and
watches more television than is probably good for her.

Wishlist
I’m looking for middle grade, young adult, and adult, in both fiction and academic nonfiction (no memoirs, please, but science, culture, and history are welcome).
I’m looking for middle grade, young adult, and adult, in both fiction and academic nonfiction (no memoirs, please, but science, culture, and history are welcome).
Fantasy
and historical are my soft spots (and I have a particular weakness for
the two combined: if you’ve written a Regency fantasy, send it my way!),
but I also like science fiction, contemporary, and genre-bending YA.
I
love a good, distinctive voice and lovable characters with an
off-kilter charm. Girl friendships. Boy friendships. Romance that flows
under the surface, especially if no one talks about it – until they do.
Snarky, funny dialogue in a heartfelt narrative. Gorgeous and true lines
I want to cut out and paste on my wall. Contemporary characters doing
something big or unusual outside the realm of high school, like elite
athletes or radio DJs. Worlds I can get
lost in, and characters I want to get lost with.
