Agents Lori Perkins and Jenny Rappaport are announcing that they “are amicably parting ways.” Rappaport is leaving the L. Perkins Agency to start her own literary agency, The Rappaport Agency.
“After a mutually successful two and a half year business relationship, Lori and Jenny have found that their agenting interests are taking them in different directions. The L. Perkins Agency will continue to focus on erotica and chick lit, horror and pop culture, while The Rappaport Agency will specialize in science fiction and fantasy, as well as YA, and romance.”
In a related announcement, Marsha Philitas has been promoted to senior literary agent at the L. Perkins Agency. Philitas moved from part-time to full-time at the beginning of October.
Clients who have moved to the Rappaport Agency include: John Joseph Adams, Douglas Cohen, and Ted Kosmatka.
