Recently, I featured Chris Richman of Firebrand as a talented new agent looking for your novel.
Today I saw a notice that Chris has left Firebrand and teamed up with Michael Stearns and another agent to form a new agency, Upstart Crow Literacy. Michael Stearns has worked in many capacities. I had a consultation with him ten years ago at a conference in Honolulu. He was an editor at Harcourt at the time. He impressed me with his editorial insights.
Here's a message from Michael Stearns:
The first week of August marks the debut of a new agency, Upstart Crow Literary. Joining me will be Chris Richman
and Danielle Chiotti, both of whom cut their teeth as agents at Firebrand. Chris and Danielle possess that mix of literary
savvy, good taste, and dedication to their authors and books that marks them as either potentially crazy or simply
crazily dedicated. I feel fortunate to embark on this new venture with the two of them, as well as with our talented list of authors, all of whom will be following us to our new home. These days you can find me at michael@upstartcrowliterary.com, or a michael@tinderbox-books.com.
We'll be making our first Upstart Crow submissions next week, and when the site goes live the week after that, I hope you'll stop by and take a look at what we've got in the works. And we all look forward to working with you from our new perch here at Upstart Crow.
