| | | Next Week -- Interview with an Expert in Getting a Literary Agent
Friend,
A few days ago I invited you to join me for a special interview with a former NY Times bestselling literary agent (and AAR member), about how to get the attention of top literary agents and publishers. But I didn’t tell you about his background.
Here’s his official bio:
MARK MALATESTA is a former NY Times bestselling literary agent and AAR member. He’s also founder of The Bestselling Author™, helping authors write, publish, and promote their books. Mark’s authors have secured book deals with publishers like Random House, Simon & Schuster, and Thomas Nelson. They’ve gotten 6-figure advances, been on the NY Times bestseller list, won countless awards, been licensed in more than 40 countries, and been picked up for TV, stage, and feature film with companies like Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks (resulting in millions of books sold). Mark also spent several years as the Marketing & Licensing Manager of Blue Mountain Arts (the book and gift publisher that invented e-greetings, then sold their e-card division for close to $1 billion). A writer at heart, Mark has been invited to write feature articles for publications like The Guide to Literary Agents, a column for WritersDigest.com, and he’s delivered keynote addresses and seminars at some of the most prominent writers’ conferences in the United States and abroad.
