We're pleased to announce that Lucas LLP has formally expanded its services. Alongside "attorneys & counselors at law" you'll now see that our shingle includes "literary agency."

In the past, because of our interest and experience in publishing matters, we've assisted some of our clients in ways that mirror the full range of a literary agent's work: editing and advising authors on their manuscripts; introducing authors and their projects to publishers; negotiating primary publishing contracts; negotiating subsidiary rights licenses; helping authors find promotional venues and other channels for their work; and helping authors find creative partners when they need another perspective or set of skills to realize their vision.

Rather than limiting our work in this area to clients for whom we have previously provided legal services, we have decided to formally and publicly expand our services, and are presently accepting new clients who seek literary representation.

More information about these services is available on our Literary Representation page. Please review it for details about the subject matter and types of projects we represent, our submission guidelines, and the terms of our representation. [1 May 2008]
