Alana: I am looking for fiction, both literary and commercial, as well as that magical blending of the two. In literary fiction I like to see an aspect of a culture different than my own. For commercial fiction, I find myself drawn to projects that present contemporary social issues.

For nonfiction, I like to see submissions that speak to the boomer generation on a multitude of subjects.

Michael:



We do not represent fantasy, horror, screenplays, or poetry.

The Purple Culture

Congratulations to Stephen Boehrer! His courtroom drama, 'The Purple Culture' will be published by Oceanview Publishing in the Spring of 2009.

If you found the documentary 'Deliver Us From Evil' by Amy Berg (nominated for an Oscar) or the Tony Award winner 'Doubt' to speak to you, you'll want to buy a copy of this book as soon as it hits the bookstores.
