Agency

Janklow & Nesbit Associates is a premier literary agency dedicated to the interests of our writer clients in all aspects of their careers. We offer the care and personal attention of a boutique agency and the strength and expertise of a large firm.

The agency began as Morton L. Janklow Associates, founded by attorney Morton Janklow in 1977. The arrival of Lynn Nesbit created Janklow & Nesbit Associates in 1989. Janklow & Nesbit (UK) Ltd. was established in 2000 to provide the same level of service and expertise to British and European-based writers. In 2015 the firm restructured and Luke Janklow was named President.

Janklow & Nesbit’s approach has always been one of client advocacy combined with meticulous attention to detail. Matching quality writers to leading publishers, our agents’ skills are supported by an integrated foreign rights team with deep publishing relationships in markets throughout the world.

Our highly respected legal team not only ensures pristine contracts, but works with our agents on the complex deal structures that are required in the changing world of intellectual property management.

Our accounting and royalties department assures timely and accurate receipt of payments from around the world utilizing our proprietary software, as well as facilitating compliance with global financial authority requirements.

Our agency has represented books that have appeared on The New York Times Bestseller Lists cumulatively for more than 10,000 weeks over the past decade. Janklow & Nesbit authors have garnered every major accolade from the Pulitzer Prize to the Academy Award. Our highest priority is the success of our authors.
