I'll update more when I have news.

In a press release issued late yesterday, Dystel & Goderich Literary Management announced that their newest agent hire is Adina Kahn, effective January 2007. After working for several years in the film & television industry, Kahn will be focus her attention at DGLM on literary and commercial fiction, narrative nonfiction, pop-culture, history and memoir. "I am delighted to welcome Adina to the agency," says Jane Dystel, president and founder of DGLM. "She is a smart, energetic and insightful young woman and I've been very impressed with her taste and tenacity. I've no doubt she will be a terrific agent and a great addition to our firm."
Kahn valued her film & TV time for teaching her to value creative and unique voices and she "looks forward to discovering new talents at DGLM."
clara bow said:Received an email from Jim McCarthy today wanting to know if the manuscript was still available. Which of course, it was.
Two "hi, how are ya, I'm still here waiting" emails to Kimberly Whalen at Trident went unanswered (one sent 10/31, the second yesterday).
I'm going out of state tomorrow and will only have a phone (no email or AW, wahh!!) until 1/2/07.
I'm sure I won't hear anything until then, but when I do, I will post the update.
Thanks for reading my goofy posts!
Children's picture books, you say? *ears perk up* I wouldn't have gotten that from his bio on the website. I'd always thought children's picture books had about as much chance of agent representation as short stories.Lisa McMann said:Michael Bourret [...] reps children's picture books, Middle Grade, and YA, as well as a variety of non-fiction -- political, cookbooks, wine, etc. I don't think he does much with sci-fi, though, to answer another poster's question.
