Our Agents

Ethan Ellenberg, President

I remain excited and committed to assisting Authors at different stages of their careers.  I work with a number of talented people writing and illustrating many different kinds of books and that’s what I like.  If you have something special in any of the commercial fiction genres I would be interested in hearing about it.  For children’s books works of the imagination and beauty will always interest me.  If I can’t help you, I will share your work with a colleague.

The business of book publishing has changed almost beyond recognition since I joined the industry.  It’s as complex as any business I know and that makes it daunting for everyone involved.  Our goal is to assist Authors where they need it most, passionate dedication to help them earn a living, and honest feedback about their work.

We look forward to hearing from you.
