She's represented by Elisabeth Weed of The Book Group.

The Once and Future Me by Melissa  Pace
“The voice’? Who’s the voice?” he asks.
But Paul won’t be getting an answer for a while. Ever, maybe. I just buried all faith in myself. I need time to sit shiva, mourn my loss. When that’s done, I’ll decide when and with whom I talk about the voice. It’s the one thing I can control now, and I won’t give it up without a fight.”

The Once and Future Me by Melissa  Pace
“So it’s worth it, this feeling, like someone’s reduced my voltage, cut power to all non-critical circuits, only essential portions of my mind running while Dr Sherman rewires the system. The nurses promise my brownout will soon be over, most of its damage temporary. They say it’s best not to fight it. Fight them. Just let go.
Surrender, Dorothy.”
