The Agency Group Ltd's literary department represents a broad roster of writers, artists, athletes and pop culture brands to the book publishing, motion picture, television and radio fields.
Nurturing clients from original concept through to completion, we take an innovative and free-ranging approach to the development and representation of content. We have placed books with every major house. From our home in Los Angeles, we have been unusually successful in developing books across platform. The company has a number of film projects in active studio development, and recently Executive Produced Fox Searchlights Never Die Alone w/Ed Pressman. Weve also recently sold Mark Jenkins The Jump Off: 60 Days to a Hip Hop Hardbody with Harper Collins, while placing the direct response home video with MTV/Razor @ Tie.
The Agency Group's literary department is headed by Marc Gerald, who started his career as an editor at True Detective Magazine, before spending four years as a writer/producer at Americas Most Wanted. While there, he conceived and produced the shows recreations as well as countless full-length TV specials for Fox.
Eventually, Gerald left Fox to head up ABA Award winning Old School Books, an imprint of WW Norton books, that is widely credited with starting a resurgence in interest in urban black literature. After publishing close to 25 books with Old School, as well as co-writing and co-producing the Stratosphere release of Six Ways to Sunday (based upon one of its titles) Gerald moved on to form The Syndicate with Wesley Snipes and Def Jam. Determined to bring literature and a love of reading to a young, urban and primarily black audience, Gerald commissioned novellas from some of hip hops brightest stars and sold them with CDs supplied by Def Jam. Eventually, Geralds interest in germinating original ideas and packaging innovative concepts led him to representation and the formation of Los Bravos Management.
In August 2004, LBM was acquired by The Agency Group.
