A native of Omaha, Nebraska, Georgia Bodnar moved to New York in 2008, beginning her career in the nonprofit sector before landing her first publishing job at Macmillan. She later joined Viking Books (Penguin Random House) and became an agent at United Talent Agency in 2022. While there, she represented the New York Times bestsellers Say More by Jen Psaki, Worse than a Lie by Ben Crump, I’ll Have What She’s Having by Chelsea Handler, as well as current and forthcoming titles by Uzo Aduba, the late anthropologist Helen Fisher, Luvvie Ajayi Jones, Santigold, Martin Lawrence, and others. Her dual experience as an editor and agent has granted her a rare level of insight into how different industry stakeholders are navigating today’s rapidly evolving marketplace.
Georgia is seeking a wide range of nonfiction and fiction. She is particularly interested in books by authors with expertise in reportage, current affairs, history, science, sociology, pop culture, memoir, parenting, business, and faith. In fiction, she represents literary, upmarket, and genre-bending works, including translations. She is drawn to novels with well-realized characters, fast-paced plots, and distinctive voices, especially those that explore family dynamics or address contemporary issues in engaging ways.
A first-generation Nigerian American, and a graduate of the University of Minnesota, she lives in Brooklyn with her husband and three children. Noyan is Georgia’s maiden name.
