Tessa Shaffer

An agent with Corvisiero Literary Agency (see other agents at this agency).

About

Tessa Shaffer is a Literary Manager for screenwriters, a Sr. Literary Agent for authors, and the Vice President of Corvisiero Literary Agency, supporting the staff and clients agency-wide.

Heading Corvisiero's Film & TV department, Shaffer's heavily involved in the development of book adaptations as well as taking exclusive book proposals to publishers from documentary content in progress. She's built a network of relationships with producers, directors, and talent at every level and takes pride in assembling teams for her clients who will champion their projects as much as she will.

Shaffer is focused on content inspired by true stories (in books, scripted, and unscripted) and on lifting voices and creators who have the desire to start important conversations—even if those conversations are uncomfortable.

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.
