Chandler Wickers

Chandler Wickers joined Stuart Krichevsky Literary Agency in 2021 after completing the Columbia Publishing Course and working in tech. 

She’s seeking literary and upmarket fiction, story collections, and elevated genre fiction. She’s drawn to novels with a distinct voice, and is especially interested in stories with setting-as-character, coming-of-age, family sagas, noir elements, narratives seeped in contemporary internet culture, and protagonists grappling with timeless questions around faith and desire. 

In non-fiction, she’s looking for literary journalism and idea-driven books across history, current affairs, politics, popular culture, and the natural world. She enjoys narratives that refract a broader view of modern life, incisive cultural criticism, scholarly inquiries with literary sensibilities, and projects that demystify a subculture to reveal something consequential about society.

Chandler is a graduate of Washington and Lee University, where she studied English and Film, and played Division III soccer. A California native and New York City transplant, she is now based in San Francisco.
