Meet My New Agent Marisa

I'm thrilled to report that I've just joined forces with another new agent, Marisa Corvisiero.

Marisa is an author and an attorney as well as an agent. She is the founder of The Corvisiero Law Practice, P.C., a boutique law firm in midtown New York City, where she practices Entertainment Law and Corporate Law among other areas. Marisa is currently being featured by the National Association of Professional Women. In the last few years Marisa has merged her passions for writing and the law into her entertainment law practice, and she is now representing several authors. Marisa is actively building her client list now. She has a facebook page and a LinkedIn network.

Marisa will be specializing in science fiction, fantasy, horror and romance, as well as some young adult and children's literature. In non-fiction, she is interested in seeing proposals for memoirs, how-to (in any industry), guides and tales about the legal practice, parenting, self-help, and mainstream science (no text books please)..

How to contact: Send your query and first two chapters (or full book for children’s books – illustrations are not necessary) to Marisa at marisa@lperkinsagency.com.

And come here again soon for a more detailed description of the kind of books Marisa is looking for, and the books that she wishes she sold.

Tell your writer friends there's a new agent in town!

I love the new look! The old format looked like Goth+Vampire, which made it difficult for me to read.

Congratulations Marisa. I'm very glad to see you there and to hear what kinds of things you're looking for. I just now tried to send you a query and first chapters, but the email address I copied and pasted from this blog bounced. I'll try again. Please email me with a different email address if this one is not working. Verlie at Verlie dot com
Thank you!

Hi Marisa,
As far as children's work goes, are you interested in author/illustrators ie: picture books?
Thanks,
Anna

Andrea M. Bodel said...

I'm not quite ready for my first real novel to be looked at by an agent. >_> I've got an exciting story, I built a platform with my 2006 NaNoWriMo novel, and I've got a great critique circle. Until the rest of my story winds its way back to me though I'm not letting it get looked at by any other eyes. >_<

Congratulations Marisa! I'll look forward to hearing more about what kinds of manuscripts you are looking for.

Ravenous Romance said...

Another agent addresses some of this author entitlement and/or arrogance.

But I'm sure you'll write to me anonymously and tell me you don't see it that way.
