Where worlds take root.

I co-agent film and TV rights for the imagined worlds and intelligent mysteries readers live inside, working alongside each author’s and estate’s literary agents.

Kim Anderson

Two Lanes, One Instinct

Worlds & mysteries.

Kim works with two kinds of story exceptionally well: vast imagined worlds, and the intelligent mysteries that keep readers up past midnight. Both travel to the screen.

Imagined Worlds

Epic fantasy and science fiction with the scale, mythology, and fandom that build franchises across film, TV, and animation.

About Kim

She tends worlds.

Kim Anderson works as a film and TV co-agent on select titles from the authors and estates behind some of fiction's most fully-realized universes — and the mysteries readers can't put down. Her instinct is for the long game: protecting a world, growing its readership, and placing it with the partners who'll bring it to the screen without losing what made it matter.

For authors and estates, that means a patient, protective champion. For producers, it means franchise-scale IP that arrives clean, considered, and ready to build.

Great worlds, well kept.
