Nathan Bransford is a literary agent
with the San Francisco office of Curtis Brown Ltd.,
a New York based agency that has been representing
writers since 1914. He’s the dream-catcher who
recognizes a new twist to an old fable and develops
the author-publisher partnership.
“I’m particularly interested in
fiction, mystery and suspense, historical fiction,
narrative nonfiction, business, sports, politics,
current events, young adult fiction, science fiction,
and anything else I happen to like,”
Bransford said.
His extensive client list includes
the Estate of Winston Churchill, Barry Gifford,
Jennifer Hubbard, and Lisa Brackmann.
A Stanford University graduate, his
writer-friendly blog
http://blog.nathanbransford.com
is a must-read for industry information seekers. A
recent Writer’s Digest article “101 Best
Websites for Writers” said, “Bransford dispenses
smart, sensible advice and an optimistic outlook
about the future of books, all in a personable,
approachable way.”
Bransford lives “The Circle of a
Writer’s Life.” His first book is due out in early
2011. Published by Dial Books for Young Children,
JACOB WONDERBAR AND THE COSMIC SPACE KAPOW is a
middle grade sci-fi novel about three kids who trade
a corndog for a spaceship, accidentally break the
universe and have to find their way back home.
In his New Year’s blog, The
Rejectionist said, “That Nathan Bransford!
He is
always smart and he is always nice. Maybe this year
instead of resolving to be LESS hateful, we should
have resolved to be MORE Bransford…” By the
conclusion of the 26th Annual Central
Coast Writers’ Conference, we’ll know how to be MORE
Bransford.
