The Rappaport Agency Closes

ralogo.jpgJenny Rappaport, the literary agent who runs the both the Rappaport Agency and Lit Soup blog, announced today that she is closing her boutique literary agency.

After working at Folio Literary Management and the L. Perkins Agency, she opened her own agency focused on science fiction and fantasy, young adult, and romance. Here is the announcement, from her blog: “It is with a great deal of sadness that I announce that The Rappaport Agency, LLC will be closing for business at the end of the year, due to economic reasons. I have been privileged to get the chance to work with amazing people over the last four and a half years, many of who I am proud to call my friends. In the coming weeks, I will be wrapping up outstanding submissions and putting things in order. I can be reached by e-mail at jenny [at] rappaportagency[dot]com.”

She concluded: “This isn’t a decision I’ve come to lightly; it’s taken a lot of thought and effort to reach this point, and to decide to seek a change of careers. I want to thank you for reading along with me on LIT SOUP, and I hope to remain connected in the writing community. I’m still going to be writing myself, striving like the rest of you for publication, and to get my own words out there.”
