Miller Bowers Griffin Literary Management (formerly The Miller Agency)

alias octavia · Apr 14, 2009

I've searched here and the index and can't find any reference to this agency.
Has anyone had any dealings with this agency?

The principle agents appear to be Angela Miller and Joan Ward. I found them on P&E but no info. Here is the AgentQuery page for Ms. Ward:
http://www.agentquery.com/agent.aspx?agentid=392

I tried the website listed, but it is inactive. I tried to query by email, but it was returned as undeliverable.

Just wondering if I should bother with the effort of sending a snail mail query.

Any help is appreciated.

Hmm. Jennifer Griffin and Sharon Bowers are the agents reporting sales on PM (most recent on Mar 30 to Running Press). I'm not finding anything for Ward, and the last reported sale for Miller was Feb '07.

Here's Ms. Griffin's AQ page. I don't find one for Bowers.

Has a website now, in the minimalist vein: http://www.milleragency.net/index.html

A PW article on Ms. Miller from Apr '10: http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/...929-cooking-the-books-with-angela-miller.html

Ms. Ward's AQ page has been updated to specify she's closed to queries.

There is a new agent at this agency who said they work under Miller and Bowers. When asked if they had a website, they said no and directed people to the Folio site where both agents are listed as affiliates. I'm having trouble understanding what exactly the arrangement is. Is anyone familiar with what is going on here?

I just saw one of the agents listed on a conference site this summer, and wondered about them. They do not have a website, which is strange, but one has a QM, but isn't listed on Query Tracker. I'm so confused.
