AGENCY NEWS JUNE 2014

May 20, 2014 by Ethan Ellenberg

Usually where to begin sets our heads a’pondering but not this month.

We are overjoyed to announce that our long term client, cherished colleague and friend, BERTRICE SMALL has won the Romance Writers of America lifetime achievement award for 2014.

It has been a joy and an education to work for Bertrice.  Her exceptional talent, free spirit, hard work and professionalism has been an inspiration.

And there’s other news:

On behalf of JOHN SCALZI we have sold LOCK IN to Audible for audio and to his long time publisher in Germany, Heyne.  We are also considering offers to launch John in Brazil. REDSHIRTS has been optioned to Fox and we’re excited to see how that develops.

KATHIE DENOSKY has secured a 12 book agreement to continue her exceptional career with Harlequin.

IAN DOUGLAS will continue his STAR CARRIER series with Avon with a new 3 book contract and launch a new series under a 2 book agreement.

We’ve sold Dutch rights to KAREN MILLER’S THE FALCON THRONE.

SHELLY LAURENSTON’S BITE ME made the NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER LIST, COMBINED PRINT AND DIGITAL.

On behalf of LINDSAY MCKENNA we’ve sold her entire ‘Wyoming’ series to audible for audio release.

We’re excited to announce a wonderful debut sale on behalf of CARAC ALLISON, DARK DIGITAL SKY to Exhibit A.  This is a suspense writer and a book that we expect great things from.

We’ve sold an additional book for MARKO KLOOS to 47-North and his sales continue to build.

We have also secured a 3 book deal for another debut author, MICHAEL LIVINSTGON, whose SHARDS OF HEAVEN series will be published by Tor.

Book Expo is here and we are looking forward to another convention.
