History

Founded in 1989 by author and academic entrepreneur James Levine, we have grown into a firm of thirteen people with offices in New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles. We represent fiction and non-fiction in virtually every category.

Most of our titles are published by imprints of the major houses—Random House, Simon & Schuster, HarperCollins, Penguin Group, Grand Central/Hachette Book Group, Holtzbrinck, McGraw-Hill, John Wiley & Sons, and Perseus Books Group—but we have also worked with almost fifty independent and/or university presses.

Our strong foreign rights department works internationally with a respected network of co-agents to place our titles with leading foreign publishers, and we are regular participants at the Frankfurt Book Fair and Book Expo America. Our co-agents in Hollywood handle movie and television rights with major studios and production companies.
