New Agents: Congratulations Ladies!

Congratulations to Stacey DonaghyBrittany Howard, and Michelle Johnson for being promoted to Jr. Agents at the Corvisiero Literary Agency, LLC. Effective October 1st, 2012 these amazing ladies will officially become Jr. Agents. On behalf of the Agency, I congratulate you and thank you for a job well done!

Stacey, Brittany & Michelle have been with the agency for most of this year in training to become Agents. They have each surpassed my expectations beyond their respective roles. Not only have they become indispensable to me in the operations of the agency, but they have also become friends and confidants. 
Stacey Donaghy
I am confident to say that they are well on their way to becoming wonderful agents, and look forward to long rewarding relationships with each of them! 
These three ladies join me, Saritza Hernandez (Senior Agent), Jordy Albert (Jr. Agent), and Brittany Booker (Jr. Agent) in the ranks of agent-hood and will be actively looking for new talent to grow their lists. So be sure to take a look at their profiles and our submission guidelines.
Brittany Howard
We also congratulate Jamie Bodnar Drowley, on her promotion to Agent Apprentice! Jamie has been doing a wonderful job as an intern with us for a few months already. She will be Apprenticing with me until she is ready to spread her wings.  Last, but never least, please welcome our newest team member, Wayne Meyers, Intern and IT specialist. We are very exited about the latest promotions and hires. Please feel free to contact them and offer your congratulations!

Michelle Johnson
I was at the Southern California Writer's Conference this weekend, and during an interview someone pointed out that my agency has grown quite a bit since we opened our doors. He asked me, "At what point would the agency no longer be considered a Boutique Agency?" My answer to him was that the Corvisiero Literary Agency will always be a boutique agency, "We don't call ourselves a boutique because we are small. We call ourselves a boutique agency because of our quality of service and exclusivity. We treat our clients as if they are a part of our family, and we pride ourselves in the fostering their growth as professionals. Their success is our success."
I believe that our internal culture and special skills- having a lawyer, editors, PR person, a manger,  a doctor, an IT specialist, etc. sets us apart from many agencies, bigger and smaller. We hope that you think so too!

To submit your work for consideration see our submission guidelines, and e-mail your work to query@corvisieroagency.com.

Happy Welcome!
Marisa

  4. "And, the vision becomes reality."

    I remember, not long ago, when my literary agent shared a secret dream with me. She bubbled over with enthusiasm as well as a bit of nervous trepidation at the enormity of her quest. I enjoyed watching its birth and the baby steps, complete with inevitable the bumps and bruises of learning. Now, despite still being in its youth, Marisa's fledgling agency has taken flight, joining the other eagles to soar at great heights,and demanding its share of the literary bounty below.

    I have no doubt about the future of the Corvisiero Literary Agency. Marisa's engaging personal style and her indomitable drive assure success. For whom? For her agents, authors, aspiring authors who seek her tutelage, even for editors and others in associated venues like screenplay writers and self-publishers. There is something in Marissa's creation for any person who cherishs the written word.

    Well done, my lady. Well done!

  10. I've watched this agency grow from start-up to a powder keg of accomplishments. Amazing and vastly more entertaining and informative than anything on the net.
    Best wishes to the new agents.

  12. Congrats to your whole team, Marisa! And a special thanks to Stacey, who, although unable to represent my book (too short), gave me some excellent suggestions to improve it. A well-earned promotion.

  13. So nice, for once, to be at "the place to be" - so happy for everyone at the agency. It's been so exciting to watch it grow, especially being a part of it. Funny thing is, I don't think we've seen anything yet...
