Agent Information
Agent Bio
Caryn Karmatz Rudy joined DeFiore and Company in the fall of 2010.
Prior to becoming a literary agent, Caryn spent seventeen years as an editor of both fiction and nonfiction for Warner Books/Grand Central Publishing.
Her experience on the other side of the publishing desk has armed her with invaluable insight into the hurdles editors face throughout the entire publishing process from the book's initial acquisition to the marketing, publicity and sales vital to ensuring strong sales - and she believes falling shamelessly in love with a book is the ultimate weapon in any agent's arsenal.
Caryn graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and currently sits on the Board of Kelly Writers House.
