Agent Bio

As President of JVNLA, Jennifer Weltz has sold books domestically, internationally, and for film for over three decades.

Coming from a mediation background, Jennifer sees herself as a liaison between her author and the editor and publishing house that acquire her author's work.

This role takes on a myriad of forms — business manager, confidant, task master, preliminary editor, and matchmaker — to name a few.

Since Jennifer takes up an author's career and not just a project, she is very careful and selective about signing on new authors.
