“I was connected with Steve through my friend and fellow writer Brianna Pastor, who he represented in the publication of a revised and expanded edition of her bestselling poetry collection GOOD GRIEF with HarperOne in 2024. I had high expectations for Steve after hearing about how skillfully he advocated for GOOD GRIEF. He exceeded them. Steve guided me through each step of the publishing process of my debut poetry collection MAKE BELIEVE with clarity, expertise, and care. He helped me craft a strong proposal, advocated for me tirelessly, and sold my book in its first round of submissions to an imprint that was a perfect fit, Convergent Books (now Harmony, Rodale and Convergent), an imprint of Penguin Random House. MAKE BELIEVE was an instant national bestseller, landing on the USA Today and Publisher’s Weekly bestseller lists and reaching the #1 spot in American Poetry on Amazon. Steve was critical to its success at each stage of its creation. He is a strategic agent, a fierce advocate, and a creative partner who respects the integrity of your project and takes the long view of your career. Anyone would be lucky to have him in their corner.”
