HUGE TKA NEWS!

All right, we have been sitting on some very huge and wonderful news for about a week. But without further ado I am delighted to post the following press release! Please join in a round of applause for our new TKA family member!!!! :)

The Knight Agency is thrilled to announce that veteran literary agent Lucienne Diver has joined our team. She brings with her a dynamic, bestselling client list as well as fifteen years of experience at New York City’s Spectrum Literary Agency, one of the oldest and most respected firms in the publishing industry. Deidre Knight and the rest of TKA welcome Lucienne as a kindred spirit with her dynamic and vibrant personality and her love of books of all kinds.

Agency President Deidre Knight first met Lucienne more than ten years ago. For Deidre, having Lucienne join TKA is the culmination of that decade-long relationship, both as fellow agents and friends.

Lucienne graduated summa cum laude from the State University of New York at Potsdam with duel majors in English/writing and anthropology. She thus came well-equipped for her career in agenting, and is proud to represent many bestselling authors of fantasy, science fiction, romance, mystery and suspense. Marjorie M. Liu, Susan Krinard, Lynn Flewelling, Rachel Caine and P.N. Elrod are just a few of the terrific names on her client roster.

Regarding the move, Lucienne says, “It’s not easy to leave behind fifteen years at Spectrum, which still has so much of my love and respect. But, in many ways, it was time to leave home and I'm looking forward to all of the opportunities that joining a larger and very vibrant agency will provide.”

Congratulations to both the agency and to Lucienne. Sounds like a great match.

I was fortunate to meet Lucienne in Florida at the SPWG conference. I put a picture of the two of us on my website.
