Beth Jusino has worked in Christian publishing for more than a decade, much to her surprise. She currently indulges in her love for good books and better writing as a literary agent with Alive Communications in Colorado, where she represents and serves a number of best-selling and up-and-coming authors.

Beth has contributed to dozens of books herself as a writer and editor, and is widely published in national magazines. She teaches regularly at writing conferences across the country, and not-so-regularly leads business writing and marketing seminars. Before becoming an agent, she spent six years as the Managing Editor for MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) International, where she was the debut editor of MOMSense Magazine.

Beth grew up near the New Jersey shore and earned her BA in political science from Wheaton College, Illinois. When she's not working, she is an amateur photographer and a Scrabulous addict on Facebook. She and her husband, Eric, live in the Denver area.
