How We Can Help


We are a one-stop source for authors at every stage of the publishing journey. From literary representation to publicity campaigns, reader-focused marketing, critiques, coaching, and community, we’ve spent more than 30 years building the relationships and expertise to help you get where you need to go. Let our experience and resources help you discover what the right next step looks like for you.

Literary Representation

We are passionate about investing in fiction and non-fiction authors, and we keep the volume of authors we partner with at a level where we can maintain quality relationships. Our goal is to help you develop a rock-solid proposal, present and place your book with the right publisher, negotiate your contract, and walk with you through every step of the process.

The Book Pod

The Book Pod is our community of authors, bloggers, influencers, and podcaster—a place where books find reviewers and authors find interviewers. Members can sign up for opportunities as they open, and you’re always welcome to join the community or talk to us about how to feature yourself or your book.

Professional Critiques

A professional critique gives you an unbiased opinion on your proposal or a sample of your work. We review 10 pages or more and offer feedback on your book concept, tone, style, felt need, and basic edits

Author Coaching

We offer 30- and 60-minute one-on-one coaching sessions focused on you and your work, with an agent’s perspective on what is expected in publishing. It’s an ideal way to get a personalized publishing plan for your book, talk through areas that need more development, and find the encouragement to keep pursuing publication.

    Erin Greneaux
  • “Blythe sees exactly what an author like me can do—then pushes me past what I thought was my best. And she negotiates like someone who’s sat in every seat at the table. She knows what the author needs and what the [publishing] house needs, and she has a gift for finding the deal where everybody walks away winning. Doors that stay shut for most writers just open when Blythe’s name is on them. Best of all, she lets you write and relax. She handles the thorny stuff so I can pour everything into the only thing that matters: making the book great.”

    Jonathan Malm

  • “As a first-time author, finding the right agent felt overwhelming, but Stephanie Alton helped transform my book proposal into something far stronger than I could have created on my own. She struck the perfect balance between encouragement and challenge, knowing when to push me deeper and when to remind me to trust my voice. Not only did she help me craft a proposal that attracted one of my dream publishers, but she also made me a better writer in the process.
