Calligraph, LLC

Calligraph is a full-service literary agency with offices in New York and Boston. Our mission is to help talented writers imagine and achieve their publishing goals. We offer representation for new and established authors, and we sell rights for our clients worldwide in print, audio, electronic, film and television. We represent literary and commercial fiction and a wide range of non-fiction, including biography, history, memoir and narrative, popular science, popular culture, and business, children’s books and YA. Our authors include creative writers, experts in their fields, established journalists, and academics. We are selective in who we represent, with an emphasis on the quality of the writing. We work alongside clients through every step of the publishing process, from the seed of an idea and the first contract negotiation, to watching over marketing and promotion, and to keeping the book in print many years later. We want our writers’ work to reach the widest possible audience, and we handle excerpts, magazine writing, speaking engagements, and the sale of other subsidiary rights. The agency works with carefully chosen co-agents to sell dramatic rights and to represent translation rights in foreign territories. We also have close relationships with leading agencies in the UK and represent a number of British writers in the US and Canada. We look forward to hearing from you.
