TriadaUS Literary Agency was incorporated in April 2004.

Our Founder, Dr. Uwe Stender, is a Full Member of the AAR (Association of Authors' Representatives). He has a Ph.D. in Literature from the University of Pittsburgh. He also studied at the University of California, Berkeley and the Universitaet Goettingen, Germany. He taught at both Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh and has been widely published in scholarly journals and books. Uwe was a guest speaker at several major conferences including the Writers' League of Texas in Austin, the SCWC in San Diego, the “Crimebake” (Mystery Writers of America New England Chapter), CAPA-U in Hartford, Connecticut and the Novels in Progress Workshop in Louisville.

TriadaUS has established strong relationships with all the major publishing houses. We also have strong Hollywood contacts and are working very closely with a subagent for TV and Motion Picture rights.

"Uwe has been very professional, forthright and responsive in all our dealings. The contract that he proposed was well-drafted and very fair to the author. Among other things, Uwe sought no up-front fees whatsoever. In addition, he offered to permit the author to withdraw from the contract upon 30 days notice at any time and for any reason. In deciding whether to go with Uwe, I sought advice from Lucianne Goldberg, a former well-known agent and figure in the Monica Lewinsky scandal. She advised me that it's better to go with a 'hungry' agent than with a more prestigious but less motivated one. These decisions are of course highly personal, but Uwe has shown himself to be ethical, professional, responsive and energetic. I would encourage fellow authors to give him due consideration."
