Agent Bio

Michelle Tessler established The Tessler Literary Agency in 2004.

She values fresh, original writing that has a compelling point of view.

She works as her clients' creative and business partner throughout the entire publishing process.

Sharp editorial focus is given to authors before their work is submitted, and support is provided along the way, as publishers begin to position the book in the marketplace through catalog copy, jacket designs, and marketing, publicity, and launch strategies.
