Testimonials

“Having Chris in my corner has been transformational. He's insightful when reviewing drafts, he has a great feel for both domestic and international opportunities, and he is relentless when acting on your behalf. All I have to do is write, Chris takes care of everything else. That is precisely what everyone should be looking for in an agent.”

Craig Shreve, author of African Samurai

"I'm beyond grateful that Chris saw something special in me and my story from the very beginning. From day one, he's been an unwavering champion—not just for my story, but for me as a writer. His sharp editorial eye and instincts for what a story truly needs have strengthened my work in ways I couldn't have imagined. He's the kind of agent who always shows up: with encouragement, thoughtful advice, and quick answers to every question (no matter how small or anxious). His kindness, patience, and steady belief in me have meant more than I can say.”

Rachel Phan, author of Restaurant Kid

"Chris is a dream agent. He is honest, pays attention to every single detail, and will fight for you every step of the way. I also appreciate that he genuinely loves literature and can give valuable feedback on the content of your book while also guiding your career on the business side. I feel like I lucked out with Chris and would never, ever want another agent." 

Kern Carter, author of Is There a Boy Like Me and And Then There Was Us

“Chris has a nuanced understanding of the publishing business, a good sense of who's looking for what. He thinks long-term about his clients' careers. He's the best kind of advocate--smart, persistent, a good communicator, and an ethical person in a tough business.”

Sam Wiebe, author of The Last Exile and Ocean Drive

“Chris is everything you'd want in an agent. A warm and generous advocate, he's also an ideal reader -- smart, savvy, with brilliantly bang-on instincts. On both editorial and business sides, I trust his judgement completely.”

Tara Henley, author of Lean Out

“I'm so lucky to have Chris working with me. He was a champion for my book, and a great source of support in the times when even I felt less-than-sure. He's always kind, he's always patient, and he's the type of agent who will respond to your e-mails and questions quickly, no matter the time -- no matter how inane the request.”

Ann Hui, author of Chop Suey Nation

“It has been a great pleasure working with Chris. His professionalism, honesty and good advice – not to mention his ideas and strategies for achieving the objective – has changed the direction of my career. It is an exciting time, I only wish we had come together earlier.”

Stephen R. Bown, author of Dominion and The Company
