Steven Hutson

An agent with WordWise Media Services (see other agents at this agency).

About

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, between Route 66 and Hollywood Boulevard. I wrote poems, articles, business letters, advertising copy, and lame excuses. Like most writers, I kept a day job; in-between gigs I found gainful employment as a clerk typist, vitamin buyer, waiter, forklift operator, lifeguard, bookkeeper, grocery manager, printer's apprentice, and meat cutter. Oh, and I went to college for a while with a major in business.
But the muse didn't give up on me, and in time I had a couple of books published. One thing led to another; I edited dozens of books for others and managed a writers’ conference for several years, making many valuable contacts along the way. I've mentored hundreds of aspiring authors, and I speak often at writers' events. Swimming, gardening, and cooking keep my hands busy in-between. I live in sunny Southern California with my wife Ruth and son Bradley.

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.
