Hello All,
I am Jan's daughter and agency partner and would like to make some announcements: As some in the industry know, Jan suffered a major heart attack in April, 2007. He is recovering well, but has still not been able to work 100%. Additionally, Jan's first 'job' is taking care of my 30 year-old autistic brother, Christopher, who is becoming more 'high-needs' as he gets older. We have additionally had a very serious family crisis regarding one of my sisters. The good news: JPD Literary Services is gearing up to get back in the saddle. We are creating a new website and adding editors who will provide additional contact with clients. We understand communication has been a problem in the past, though I can confidently say this has never been intentional on Jan's part. It's not easy to run a literary agency on ones own. Jan continues to be a paragon for finding new talent, and we will be actively seeking just that beginning December 2009! Look for our website in the coming months at: jpdliterary.com. We look forward to your future submissions.
