Emily Sylvan Kim is the founder of Prospect Agency. Emily opened the doors to Prospect Agency in 2005 after almost 6 successful years working at Writers House Literary Agency in New York City. Her commitment to authors and dedication to wonderful stories takes its root from her grounding in the field and her life long passion for reading and writing.
As a young energetic agent with an understanding of the publishing industry and ideas for shaping its future, Emily is thrilled to be representing authors independently through her own agency. Her focus is on maintaining a thriving literary agency that not only provides a high level of access and a sense of community but also savvy business acumen and technology to facilitate the process of turning great ideas into books on the shelf. She is fully committed and informed about authors' rights and has developed strong working relationships with first-rate publishers.
Emily grew up in Denver, Colorado and spent much of her childhood buried in the page of a book. After graduating from Carleton College with a degree in English, she translated her favorite pasttime and subject matter into a career by moving to New York City and working in the publishing industry. Reading "above the desk" and facilitating everything from contracts to cover art has been a dream come true. Additionally, Emily writes reviews at Publisher's Weekly (publishersweekly.com) and frequents literary conventions including Pikes Peak Writers Conference (ppwc.net), RWA (rwanational.org), Pennwriters Convention (pennwriters.org), and SCBWI (scbwi.org).

Emily also writes both poetry and short stories. Emily believes in beautiful sentences and compulsively readable stories and is always on the lookout for a new book to capture her imagination. When she's not surrounded by words, Emily enjoys walking in the park and spending time with her family.
