About the Agency

We are a leading, independent New York literary agency representing a distinguished list of bestselling and award-winning authors.

Founded by Stuart Krichevsky in 1995 and originally known for excellence in narrative nonfiction and literary journalism, the agency has expanded to a team of seven agents with a growing reputation for urgent work across all genres: fiction and non-fiction books that examine our past and illuminate our present, showcase excellent writing, and reach a wide readership at home and abroad.

We are an editorially-focused agency, and believe in a collaborative process  to develop and elevate an author’s work before submission to publishers. We bring creativity and our collective experience to each phase of the publishing process, going beyond the deal to include publicity and marketing support and long term career planning. We aggressively pursue all film and television adaptation and translation possibilities for our clients, and our in-house contracts team leverages extensive industry expertise to secure the best possible terms in our authors’ agreements.

Our clients’ work appears regularly on the New York Times Bestseller List, has been translated into over fifty languages, has served as the basis for major, award-winning motion pictures, television series and documentaries, and received literary awards including the The Baillie Gifford Prize, the Carnegie Medal for Excellence, the George M. Polk Award, the Governor General’s Literary Award, the J. Anthony Lukas Prize, the Livingston Award, the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, the NAACP Image Award, the National Book Award, the National Book Critics Circle Award, the Pulitzer Prize, and the Windham-Campbell Prize.
