International Experts
Vice President and Senior Agent at a top-level New York literary agency, this agent represents nonfiction and fiction authors, including a number of New York Times and national
bestsellers. Particularly drawn to projects with strong narrators and obscure journeys, this agent has been working in the industry for more than twenty years.
This agent from New York began his career at Curtis Brown Literary Agency where he sold film and television rights, and then moved on to a talent agency in Los Angles. For the past
ten years, he has been the primary literary agent in a boutique agency based in Paris. He handles European and English-language authors as well as selling foreign rights across a broad spectrum of genres.
This UK-based former ‘Big Five’ commissioning editor has worked on over 150 published titles, including prize-winners and bestsellers. He has over fifteen years’ experience teaching novel writing, is an author of a dozen works of fiction and non-fiction, and as a ghostwriter has penned over twenty titles.
This bestselling author’s three memoirs have received considerable recognition: from the New York Times bestseller list, to specific awards, and an invitation to the White House. She is a frequent contributor to the New York Times, has written for CNN.com, and has spoken on NPR programs about her area of expertise.
Past Publishing Days, organized by Florence Writers (2016-2019) sold out each year, featured experts discussing hot topics in the writing world from how to get published to matters of craft and content. Panel discussions, one-on-one sessions, and opportunities to meet fellow writers from Florence and beyond proved to be a successful program and we intend to replicate the same structure for upcoming Publishing Days.
