<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft  wp-image-66764" title="8ff86030cfc6e46fa11ce839d2c28540" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/galleycat/files/2013/03/8ff86030cfc6e46fa11ce839d2c28540.png" alt="" width="154" height="154" />Three seasoned agents, <strong>Laurie McLean</strong>, <strong>Gordon Warnock</strong> and <strong>Pam van Hylckama Vlieg</strong>, have partnered together to launch a new agency called &#8220;Foreword Literary.&#8221;</p>
<p>On submissions, the agents represent writers who specialize in a plethora of different genres from children&#8217;s picture books to upmarket commercial fiction. This agency&#8217;s current client list includes <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/galleycat/julie-kagawa-signs-7-figure-deal-with-harlequin-teen_b64443" target="_blank">young-adult author</a> <strong>Julie Kagawa</strong>, thriller novelist <strong>Ransom Stephens</strong> and romance writer <strong>Lisa Kessler</strong>.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s more from <a href="http://forewordliterary.com/2013/03/why-foreword-why-now-by-laurie-mclean/" target="_blank">the agency&#8217;s blog</a>: &#8220;We are a brand new type of author representative. Sure, we’ll sell books to publishers and sell subsidiary rights to movie studios, foreign publishers, magazines, audiobook companies, etc. But we’ll also work with a network of affiliates such as self-publishers, cover designers, app creators, web series developers, comic book producers, social media marketers, publicity experts, teachers, game designers, speaker bureaus, and many, many others to offer our clients a fully-fleshed world of possibilities for their creativity.&#8221;</p>
