Lets Catch UP!

I can't believe that it's been so long since my prior post. Things have been way too exciting around here, leaving little time to do fun things like keeping in touch with all of you. 

Since 2013 is coming to its end I wanted to let you all know what we have been up to here at the Corvisiero Literary Agency
During the last few months we have signed a wide spectrum of talented authors from children's book author Tish Rabe, author of the new Cat in The Hat books, to New Adult and Young Adult New York Times and USA Today Best Selling authors like J.L. Mac, Erin Noelle, Pamela Ann, and S. Walden to name a few among many super talented authors in various genres.
We have sold many terrific projects from Anna Berry's memoir NUT JOB to Diana Copland's BOY INTERRUPTED.

Our staff has also changed a bit with one of our wonderful agents, Stacey Donaghy leaving us to start a brand new agency in Canada named Donaghy Literary Group. We are very proud of her and look forward to working together on projects in the near future. We have also made some promotions. Sarah Negovetich was promoted to Jr. Agent, and Intern Rebecca Simas was promoted to train with me as an Apprentice. 

As soon as we finish our interview process we will also be announcing who will be the agency's new Interns for the Winter term into the Spring of 2014. 

The Agency is currently closed to submissions. We plan to catch up with the huge volume of queries submitted to us by the end of the year. 

We will open the query box to submissions again on January 2nd. If you are interested in submitting your work for consideration, please take a look at our Submission Guidelines on the CLA website. Be sure to review each Agent's Preferences before sending in your work, and make sure that the specific Agent you choose is taking queries at the time of your submission. 

So... that's the short version of our endeavors. We have lots of great things in the works, and I will try to share with you all as much as time permits. 

Thanks for reading, and keep writing! 


Warmly,
Marisa

  2. All awesome news, Marisa. Congrats on all the changes. I'm looking forward to working a bit with Becca on the upcoming interview for one of your recent new authors, Stina Lindenblatt. Should be a great interview. Best of luck in clearing some items off your to-do list, but don't forget to have a great, stress-free, happy Christmas in the process. :)
