Wylie Agency - Assistant

The Wylie Agency is looking for an assistant to work in our New York office.

We're a literary agency, representing, among many other authors and artists: Mailer, Roth, Bellow, Sontag, Kincaid, Rushdie, Calvino, Amis, Leibovitz, Mapplethorpe, etc. We are a small office with several hundred clients, so the gamut runs from typical assistant duties (answering phones, filing correspondence and contracts/royalty statements, drafting letters/faxes for one or more agents whom the person would assist) to reading, reviewing, and submitting manuscripts (short stories/articles/proposals/books), negotiating contracts, and eventually working directly with a number of clients on our list -- i. e. serving as the main liaison between the client and the agency.

Those interested should write to Katherine Marino (kmarino@wylieagency.com), attaching a resume. We will respond to candidates we wish to interview only.

A complete client list is available on our website: www.wylieagency.com.
