Carrie Kania

An agent with C&W Literary Agency (see other agents at this agency).

About

Before packing my bags and leaving ‘Bright Lights’ to search for ‘Brideshead’, I was lucky enough to work in US publishing at Random House and HarperCollins. I was the SVP Publisher of Harper Perennial, where I watched after countless authors, including classics, new writers and notable names. I also co-founded It Books, an imprint dedicated to pop-culture, fashion, film, music and celebrity. In the imprint’s first 18 months, It Books boasted 13 New York Times bestsellers, including two #1 titles.

I’ve taught at NYU as well as spoken at numerous writer’s conferences, and I am always happy to speak to writers at conferences, classrooms and festivals. I also co-founded the independent bookstore/bar The Society Club, which is sadly no more. But we had a good run. You can read more about me in the New York Times, Observer and Variety.

Agent Impersonation Scams are becoming commonplace.
A legitimate agent will not contact you and request money to represent you. 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.
