Renaissance Literary & Talent

Jacklyn Saferstein-Hansen is originally from Omaha, Nebraska and studied English, Classical Civilization, and Screenwriting at Boston University.

She represents character-driven commercial and upmarket fiction with strong emotional stakes and narrative urgency. She is particularly drawn to women’s fiction, historical fiction, romance, mystery, and thriller/suspense centered on complex relationships and layered moral tension. She seeks novels with a distinctive voice and a fresh, market-aware premise. Her sweet spot is fiction that balances heart and propulsion.

She also represents cookbooks, lifestyle books, and narrative nonfiction focused on culture, history, politics, and Jewish issues. She’s drawn to projects that uncover hidden stories or reframe familiar subjects in surprising, illuminating ways. Across categories, she looks for work anchored by a strong, authentic voice and a clear point of view.
