Monika Verma is thrilled to be working at Levine Greenberg with Daniel Greenberg and Stephanie Rostan and as an associate agent. After growing up in Los Angeles, Monika headed east to attend Wellesley College. There she rocked the college radio station, co-edited the literary magazine and studied English. Not getting enough of the cold in Boston, she spent her junior year at Oxford perfecting her punting technique and reveling in her own anglophilia.
Monika keeps a special place in her heart for pop culture, humor, narrative non-fiction, fashion, foodie, and music titles. She loves to represent books that makes people's lives just a few degrees sunnier, be those quirky memoirs, satirical humor collections, or old-fashioned cookbooks. On the fiction side, she stays up far too late reading literary mysteries and suspense, especially those from across the pond (some of her favorites are Kate Atkinson and Benjamin Black). She often suspects that she was born in the wrong century, and loves books that give her a window into an older way of life. In her spare time, she enjoys going to concerts, photography, traveling, cheesy Masterpiece Theater adaptations, and searching for the spiciest vegetarian food in New York.
