Alyssa Reuben

Alyssa joined WME in 2022 after serving as the head of Paradigm Agency’s Book Publishing division, where she worked for nearly 15 years. Originally from Philadelphia, she lives in Brooklyn with her husband and two kids.

Alyssa represents a wide array of categories: adult, young adult, and middle-grade fiction, as well as platform-driven nonfiction ranging from prescriptive to narrative, illustrated food/lifestyle, humor, and everything in between. She has brokered deals for many bestselling authors including Jessica Knoll, Jessica Goodman, Vivian Tu (@yourrichbff), Billie Eilish, Tracee Ellis Ross, the Betches, Tinx, Feeding Littles, and Katie Sturino.

She is passionate about working with dynamic authors who change the conversation and have propulsive stories that resonate emotionally. She loves fiction with an edge or a great romantic arc and prides herself on unearthing new talent and helping her clients realize their potential. Above all, she is looking for books that really make you want to turn the pages.

For fiction projects, please send your query letter and the first ten pages of your manuscript. For nonfiction projects, just the query letter is great.

Please include your bio as part of all submissions.
