We represent commercial and literary fiction and non-fiction. Our emphasis is in career planning, with a vision and a plan for every author. Our clients range from New York Times bestsellers to beginners.
We are known for our "power summit" meetings, in which the author, publisher, publicist, and others get together to focus on the author's career to move it up the ladder.

Irene Goodman has had great success in the romance genre with numerous NYT best sellers, but is now avidly looking for great thrillers, upscale commercial women's fiction, commercial non-fiction with a platform, strong voices, and writing that grabs and won't let go.

Miriam Kriss focuses mainly on urban fantasy, but is always looking for a strong voice and a unique twist. In four short years, she has become one of the hottest young agents in town.

Barbara Poelle has a real gift for finding gold, and has a stack of new contracts to prove it. She loves unusual literary fiction with a commercial edge, thrillers, and anything with a great voice.

Jon Sternfeld, our newest member, is looking for strong literary fiction, edgey non-fiction with a platform, and quirky, unusual projects with a hook.

Available on request.
