Lucinda Literary, founded in 2011, is a literary management firm specializing in “ideas” or “big think” books that look to change the way people work, behave, and live. We also selectively represent fiction, seeking voice-driven, emotionally raw, and often unconventionally told novels for adults and young adults. In children’s books, we look for stories that transport us and break new ground, much
in the way our adult books do. Most often, our clients come to us already well-known in their fields as original thinkers or voices—they are business leaders, scientists, or bring a strong media or online profile. But sometimes, they bring just a great title concept. Or a great story that requires a professional writer. We help develop books from the ground up. Lucinda Literary also offers programs and services to help writers build their voice, platform, query letter, manuscripts, and proposals. You can find more information about our workshops and courses at www.lucindaliterary.com/workshops. Lucinda Literary’s Speakers Bureau was founded in 2016 to offer lecture opportunities and relationships to all Lucinda Literary authors, along with a select list of authors represented by our colleagues. Bringing a background in marketing, along with media and film relationships, we are above all strategists and advocates not just for the books, but for the entire careers of our authors. We take on a small number of new clients by design, which allows us to be hands-on, attentive, and editorially invested. Lucinda Literary also has a private Letter Better Facebook group, which is only accessible to those who have participated in one of our workshops, consultations, or courses. We do not accept membership requests from those who have not taken part in one of our programs.
