"Jennifer Lyons is an extraordinary literay agent. She is both an idealist and a pragmatist -idealistic about the art of writing and pragmatic about the business of writing. That's precisely the combination a writer wants in a literary agent. Jennifer believes that books of the highest quality can find a place in an ever more commericalized enviornment. And through her elequent advocacy, both of contemporary talents and the estates of classics such as Issac Babel, Frank O'Connor and Heinrich Boell, she has done much to enrich American culture. Any writer who's lucky enough to be represented by Jennifer Lyons will find a vocal advocate, a steady advisor, and a true friend. I certainly have. There is nobody better."

Jed Perl

"Jennifer Lyons is not just a highly competent book agent but an exceptional human being as well. She is warm, professional, transparent and has extenstive contacts in the publishing universe. It is a pleasure and honor to work with her."
