Lisa Gallagher has joined Sanford J. Greenburger Associates as an agent. Gallagher had been the publisher of William Morrow, before she was let go in the corporate reorganization early this year (see this article, and also this report from the New York Observer). Publishers Weekly notes that, while at Morrow, “she worked with such authors as Dennis Lehane, Laura Lippman, John Grogan, and Neal Stephenson.” Before her time at Morrow, Gallagher had opened the US office of Bloomsbury Publishing.
Greenburger Vice President Heidi Lange told GalleyCat, “Gallagher is that rare publishing professional whose talents include a strong editorial insight, marketing expertise, and keen business sense. She has a reputation for being extremely pro-author, working closely with writers on all aspects of a book’s publication, and yet she never loses sight of the realities of the marketplace.”
