After twenty-six years working for various publishers Liv Blumer decided to invest in herself and became an agent.

After thirteen years as an agent (the last eight as The Blumer Literary Agency) she concentrates on working closely with a small number of clients whose work reflects her eclectic taste.

It is the Agency's firm belief that its purpose is to manage writing careers, not just sell books.

Bestsellers include: A YEAR BY THE SEA BY Joan Anderson, ALMOST FRENCH by Sarah Turnbull, DARE TO REPAIR by Sussman and Tenet, THE COLOR OF LAW by Mark Giminez, FAT bu Jennifer McLagan .

In 2009, FAT: An Appreciation Of A Misunderstood Ingredient With Recipes by Jennifer McLagan, was named the James Beard Cookbook of the Year!

Liv Blumer is a member of The Association of Authors' Representatives (AAR) and a past member of the AAR Board, The International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP), and The Women's Media Group (WMG).
