2007 Presenters (Authors, Agents, Editors & Producers)

Michael Bourret, Agent

Michael Bourret joined Dystel & Goderich Literary Management after studying film and television production at New York University. Los Angeles wasn't calling, so he decided to try his hand at another love–books. The fit couldn't have been better.

After living in Connecticut, Illinois, and upstate New York, Michael decided that New York City was home. He currently resides in Brooklyn, which is like Manhattan, only better.

Michael is interested in a wide range of books, from middle grade and young adult fiction, to arts and entertainment, to serious nonfiction. He is a politics and news junkie, as well as a connoisseur of fine wine and reality television.
