Tor - 10.02.12 | "[with his] wit, invention, strangeness, cool--he already is ... a true star of twenty-first-century fantasy" -- John Crowley
|
|
As of June '11, I am a literary agent with Lynn Franklin Associates, working closely with president Lynn Franklin. The agency represents a range of high-quality non-fiction writers -- including activist Archbishop Desmond Tutu, former executive at Disney Lee Cockerell, former president of Ireland Mary Robinson, and more -- as well as a selective list of novelists, most particularly Jim Kokoris. Our focus is international, with annual appearances at all major book fairs in Bologna, London, and Frankfurt.
I represent primarily fiction at the moment, but am interested in working with all types of writers, be they novelists, memoirists, or real-world experts. I love high-concept works in all genres, but I'm actively looking for any fiction from writers with distinct, fresh voices and superb writing. Many of my novelists' works share the same genre-bending/breaking quality. With non-fiction, I'm interested in proposals for projects that will be read by a wide audience (must have that excellent balance of platform, concept and writing) or smaller books that are groundbreaking in specific/niche ways.
Though I consider all material, I would currently love to sign more writers of YA, romance, upmarket women's fiction, and crime fiction (ranging from espionage to literary suspense), as well as any experts with a platform on topics of technology, social media, education, or the environment. For details regarding the genres I represent, click here.
In addition to agenting, I write.

BEST-KNOWN PROJECTS

THREE PARTS DEAD by Max Gladstone (Tor, October 2, 2012)
“This has so many of my favorite things: an intriguing world, fun characters, a puzzle of a story that manages to be both funky fantasy and legal thriller. THREE PARTS DEAD is simultaneously fast paced and thoughtful, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.”
-- Carrie Vaughn, author of the Kitty Norville series
“With this first book, Max Gladstone gives promise of being a true star of twenty-first-century fantasy. Indeed, in all the ways that count—wit, invention, strangeness, cool—he already is.”
-- John Crowley, author of LITTLE, BIG and THE DEEP
“Max Gladstone has created a fascinating universe and equally fascinating characters. It’s a world in which magic is craft, and religion has some very practical rules, and he shows it through the stories of some very interesting characters.”
-- Jerry Pournelle, coauthor of THE MOTE IN GOD'S EYE and of LUCIFER'S HAMMER
“Gladstone has created an amazing world. … Combining murder mystery, corporate intrigue, and thaumaturgical fireworks, THREE PARTS DEAD gives us not just an excellent urban fantasy, but [also] a brilliant new world to explore. I can’t wait to see what he does next.”
-- Margaret Ronald, author of SPIRAL HUNT
MISERERE: AN AUTUMN TALE by Teresa Frohock (Night Shade Books, July 1, 2011)
*starred review* ”This exceptional, dark historical fantasy debut should particularly appeal to fans of medieval fiction, tales of holy warriors, and fantasies that feature strong women characters.”
-- Library Journal
"MISERERE is about redemption, and the triumph of our best impulses over our worst. It's also about swords, monsters, chases, ghosts, magic, court intrigues and battles to the death. It's also (and this is the important part) really, really good."
-- Alex Bledsoe, author of DARK JENNY and THE SWORD-EDGED BLONDE
"In her debut novel, MISERERE: AN AUTUMN TALE, Teresa Frohock has succeeded at creating that all-too-rare phenomenon among first-time story-tellers: a mature prose style combined with a fully realized vision. Her ‘woerld’ will completely immerse the reader with its compelling and striking visuals, fascinating details and thrilling plot turns. The book is almost impossible to put down and it’s harder yet not to actually believe that what Ms. Frohock imagined isn’t terribly real—even if some of us haven’t found an entrée into the parallel existences she’s meticulously crafted. Studded with magic, demons, and terror run amok, dark fantasy and horror fans alike will walk away from MISERERE feeling they’ve found a writer they not only admire, but are anxious to revisit soon in her future works.
-- Lisa Mannetti, Bram Stoker Award-Winning author of THE GENTLING BOX and DEATHWATCH
