Berkley, January 2010 Book One of the Blood Rose Trilogy

Nancy Coffey Literary & Media Representation is a full service agency and active member of SCBWI, RWA and AAR. We represent both juvenile and adult literature and work with only high quality writers. Nancy started in the industry as an editor at Avon, working her way up to Editorial Director of Berkley, Editorial Director of Ballantine and eventually Publisher at St. Martins Press before opening her own literary agency. Joanna's publishing experience began with Barnes & Noble. She was an editorial assistant at a small children's publisher, and a literary assistant/Jr. Agent at FinePrint Literary Management before joining up with Nancy. Joanna is looking to build her list.
