Transatlantic Agency just announced its name change in a reorganization and relaunch of its brand (previously Transatlantic Literary Agency). With that reorganization, the 20-year-old Toronto-based agency recently hired several new agents who are actively looking for new authors to represent.
Samantha Haywood, a shareholding partner in the company, specializes in international publishing and has over 15 years’ experience selling primarily Canadian authors at home and abroad for volume publication and film/TV representation. Samantha works with her colleagues on the adult side of the agency, Shaun Bradley and Meghan Macdonald.
Marie Campbell, also a shareholding partner as a result of the reorganization, specializes in writers of juvenile and YA fiction and works with (company president) David Bennett, Fiona Kenshole, Amy Tompkins, Patricia Ocampo and Jennifer Starkman.
Transatlantic has over 150 clients on two continents represented by professional literary agents operating in Canada and the United States and works collaboratively with established co-agents in 28 foreign language territories.
To get in touch with these people go to their submission page: http://transatlanticagency.com/agents/submissions/
Adult book agent Meghan Macdonald will be speaking at the WCYR meeting on March 10. See my blog of Feb. 25.
