A QUICK NOTE TO MY AUTHOR'S
I want to let you all know how much I appreciate you and how much I enjoy working with you. Every book that we do together is special and has great meaning for you, for me, the editor and for the readers. With each new proposal that we tweak together to make it just right for that perfect editor and perfect publishing house, I fall in love with publishing all over again.
From the moment I read the proposal through getting to know my author, to pitching the editor, to getting the offer from the editor, every step of the way is my favorite. I just enjoy the entire process. I have made a great many friends over the years, friendships that I will cherish forever. I am grateful to all of you and I thank you from the bottom of my heart; you have enriched my life every day.

I wish you all awesome advances, great big sales with big fat royalty checks every six months and many many NY Times bestsellers!

In light and peace,

Lisa

"Lisa Hagan is a book publishing genius! She intuitively knows who to talk to and how to pitch a book - to find its perfect publisher. And she doesn’t stop there. Her support of the project continues throughout each phase of the process - all the way through sales and marketing. She’s the best partner any author could ask for."
Sue Frederick, author of I See Your Dream Job (St. Martin’s Press)

"You are the "bomb-diggity!" Donna Cutting, author of The Celebrity Experience: Transform Your Company With Red Carpet Service.

"Once again you have done it. You are a great agent, and I'll tell the world." Dirk Wales artist and author

"Lisa Hagan is the most wonderful, supportive, uplifting and empowering friend/agent anyone could dream of having on their team. I first came in contact with her through a friend of a friend’s referral, and sent her my book proposal for "The Wealthy Spirit." She called me the next day and said, "I’m on page twelve and I would love to represent you!" We signed contracts that day, and the search for my publisher began.

It was a long search. Rejections were many, "almost deals" were several, and hopes rose only to be dashed again for a year and a half. Lisa never gave up on me and never gave up on my book. We became fast friends and email buddies, always lifting each other up and giving each other hope when things looked bleakest. Her belief in me never wavered, even when mine did.

When I told my friends in my writer’s group about her, they looked at each other then back at me. "Are you sure she’s a real agent?" they asked. "She sounds too nice!" I laughed because I knew I had been blessed with someone very special. Through her persistence and determination, Lisa found the perfect editor and publisher for my book, negotiated the best possible deal, and today "The Wealthy Spirit" is in bookstores across the nation.

"Many thanks Lisa. If it hadn’t been for you, this project would have never have gotten off the ground." Best regards Graham Spence

"I love it when you send me money. Thanks for both of the checks." Norma Ekcroate co-author of The New Natural Cat, Dog Whisperer and Puppy Whisperer

"Lisa has become more than just my agent. She has become my good friend, my confidante, and my trusted ally in planning my long-term writing career. She is so intuitive and never fails to guide me towards the choices that best express who I am and what I really want to accomplish with my writing. I couldn't ask for more. She is like a lioness, protecting her clients and steering them towards the best editors and publishers and deals, not just the biggest. And she never fails to make me laugh at the sillier aspects of the publishing world! I may get anxious about my career at times, but I trust Lisa to know what that important next step is and she always believes in me, encourages me and inspires me. She really works for, and takes a stand for, her clients in a way many agents simply don't have the time or inclination to. I am so blessed to have her on my side. Plus, we share a raging love for good chocolate!"
MARIE JONES - author of "PSIence: How New Discoveries in Quantum Physics and New Science May Explain the Existence of Paranormal Phenomena" New Page Books, Nov. 2006.
