Chandra has been with Taryn Fagerness Agency since 2019 and has been a voracious reader since a very young age. While she’s spent time as a scientist (with several published articles), a physical therapy aide, and a preschool teacher, books have been a lifelong constant, and she’s thrilled to now be working in the literary world.
