Angela Rinaldi An agent with Angela Rinaldi Literary Agency About I have been opening publishing doors for writers of fiction and non-fiction for over thirty years. Each submission sent to me is read carefully with the intention of discovering the finest work to present to publishers. My publishing experience at several of the major publishing houses in editorial positions and vast knowledge of the industry is the foundation that has made me a dedicated advocate committed to encouraging and guiding writers through the publishing process. The eclectic client list of passionate storytellers and distinguished writers of non-fiction with big ideas that I have represented, have made a difference in the world. I am proud to have represented non-fiction classics like the nine million copy bestseller Who Moved My Cheese? by Dr. Spencer Johnson, Calling in the One by Katherine Woodward Thomas, Zen Golf: Mastering the Mental Game by Dr. Joseph Parent, A Space in the Heart by Larry Carlat, Jenn Garbee who has co-authored several successful cookbooks and novelists Marjorie Reynolds, Drusilla Campbell and Allison Morgan. As manager of The Los Angeles Times Book Publishing Program, I worked for ten years with staff journalists to create, produce and distribute books on current topics. Connecting writers with the publishing experience has been a natural extension of my long involvement with publishing. This agent may not respond to all queries.

Never pay an agent an up-front fee. That is not how literary agent representation works. Agents earn a commission only after they've landed a publishing deal for you. Also, agents scarcely ever contact writers. If an agent that you haven't queried contacts you about representation, be suspicious. Look up the agent and check if the email address is correct for that agent/agency.
