Agent Information
Agent Bio
Susan Finesman began scouting books, plays and narrative non-fiction for Tri-Star Pictures in 1986.
Scouting and adapting books for the screen shaped her perspective on selling books to publishers.
In 2010 she founded her own seat to introduce writers to publishers and to pursue film, television, and internet opportunities as part of a coordinated plan.
She is interested in all kinds of books but is particularly compelled by work that features characters she cannot shake.
