Wendy Sherman Associates, Inc. was founded in 1999. With a unique perspective on the publishing process, and an invaluable blend of experience in editorial, acquisitions, sales, marketing, and negotiations, the agency offers its clients a comprehensive strategy towards the development of material, the sale of books, as well as a collaborative participation in the entire publishing process. We pride ourselves on an outstanding reputation with publishers and the cultivation of long-term relationships with our clients.

Our ability to attract and identify quality material is combined with an intuitive and experiential sense of market trends. We have a proven track record with first time authors as well as those with established careers. Our reputation for professionalism and success, a passion for what we do, and accessibility to our clients ultimately makes us a desirable agency for writers throughout their writing careers. Our experience gives our clients a significant edge in the increasingly competitive publishing marketplace.

We negotiate the sale of all rights for our clients' book projects. We work with our international rights agent here in NYC as well as with sub agents and publishers abroad. We work with the best co-agents in New York and Los Angeles for the sale of film and television rights, each one selected for their experience and enthusiasm, and 'fit' for the particular project. We may, on occasion, recommend our clients work directly with freelance and independent editors. We never charge a reading fee, and are proud to be a member of the AAR.
