We’ve had the privilege of representing talented non-fiction authors for more than three decades and our clients continue to inspire our work – with the common goal of finding the right editor, the right publisher, and the right home for their book projects.

Seventh Avenue Literary Agency has actually represented authors for almost 35 years. Our origins as a small management division with Vancouver-based Contemporary Communications and the National Speakers Bureau, with a couple of speakers who needed some literary management of contracts, have evolved into something quite special. We now represent between 30 and 40 authors at any given time, and have attended major international trade and rights events in Frankfurt, London, and New York. We have represented award winners, film and television projects for our clients; and some of our writers are on their fifth or sixth book with our agency. It is gratifying to have people demonstrate that kind of loyalty and we, in turn, believe we give as good as we get.

Book publishing is always in a state of change – some might call it turmoil. The digital world has affected how books are produced, bought and sold. What that means going forward is both exciting and daunting. And we intend to be around to see how it turns out.

We will continue to happily represent these current clients, all the while adding new and talented writers in non-fiction—we hope they will enjoy the journey as much as we do.
