Chris Casuccio 5

An agent with Westwood Creative Artists (see other agents at this agency).

About

I have established strong relationships with elite authors, editors and publishers, which allow me to draw from top-level publishing insight, access respected contacts throughout North America, and help authors tell their stories in the most professionally appealing way. I have helped sell projects for such acclaimed authors as Stephen Bown, George Jonas, Richard Wagamese and Max Wallace, and for emerging authors such as Kern Carter, Antonio Michael Downing, Ann Hui, Alexandra Shimo, and Christine Tizzard. I am passionate about finding and nurturing new literary voices, and helping authors who have a story to tell elevate their craft and share their work with the world. I take pride in being both a publishing professional who is connected to the current marketplace and understands how to best negotiate it, and also a creative partner with proven editorial instincts. I am actively growing my client list, and am looking for stories I haven’t heard, told well – stories that need to be told, particularly the ones that aren’t often shared, the dark corners most people don’t explore.

Nonfiction Open

I’m especially attracted to big ideas, diverse voices, inspired experts, and driven journalism – to authors who know something that I don’t and care deeply about sharing their knowledge; people fearless enough to stand up and and tell their truths. I love being floored by the impossibly simple and the endlessly complex. I have represented journalists, scientists, chefs, adventurers, poets and activists, and have worked tirelessly to promote their books.
