The Agency

We specialize in working with authors of all stripes. Some clients have MFA’s, some have medical degrees, some skipped college altogether. Some have a deep background in business and tech--and are also NBA champions. We represent novelists, investigative journalists, historians, and those making sense of their own lived experience as memoirists.

Everything starts with fantastic writing that teaches, informs, and inspires readers. Books are at the center of every relationship we have, but we are a full-service agency, helping our clients maximize opportunities based on their work. This includes speaking engagements and workshops at Fortune 500 and technology companies, nonprofits and schools around the world, and television, film, and podcast deals.
