Authors
I'm very proud to have worked with great authors and great words. Some of the people I've represented have hit the New York Times bestseller list, been finalists for the Christy Award and the Gold Medallion, appeared on the Top 100 list, received starred reviews in Publishers Weekly, won RITA awards, won Romantic Times and Reader's Choice awards, and made numerous "Best Books" lists.
Authors I represent have appeared on nearly every major television and radio program, from Oprah Winfrey and Montel Williams to Fox News and At Home Live. They have been written up in every conceivable sort of magazine, from Redbook to Writers Digest, and they have spoken to a wide variety of audiences — from small groups in church basements to at least four United States Presidents. Every author we represent writes books that make a difference.
