Greystone Literary Agency (Michael Mancilla)

Does anyone have any info about this agent who recently reopened his agency in DC after briefly closing it? I've done all the internet searching I can -- he is listed with a $ in P&E.

He's read my proposal for a nonfiction, prescriptive book, sounds interested and we're set to talk. I've been burned once before with an agent who wasn't as advertised, so I'd like to get any feedback I can about him.

I located him through a post on the Guide to Literary Agent Editor's blog here: http://www.guidetoliteraryagents.com/blog/Greystone+Literary+Is+Back+In+Business.aspx

I don't see any other forum messages about him.

Thanks in advance,

Andy

I spoke with Michael at length and checked out the books he's placed. He's definately legit, but on the newer side. He already has a good feel for the project and had some good ideas.

I didn't get the sense that he was dishonest or deceptive at all; he really seemed straightforward and honest. Obviously I can only speak to my experience with him.

I just signed with him, and he's going to start sending out my proposal next week. Hopefully we'll have success!
