September - 2007

Founded in 1993, Literary Artists Representatives (LAR) is a full-service literary agency which emphasizes nonfiction trade books. From time to time, LAR represents a work of quality fiction which we deem distinctive and compelling.

LAR's specific interests and strengths are in narrative nonfiction, biography, memoir, current affairs, business, culture, history, how-to, film/TV, personal finance/investment, science, sports, motivational and mind/body/spirit. As a general rule, we do not handle books for young readers.
