TANENBAUM INTERNATIONAL

It is our mission to support our authors through every step of the publishing process, nurturing relationships between publishers and our authors while offering extensive editorial guidance, from content development to copy editing.

We represent books on the fine and performing arts, adult fiction and non-fiction, memoir, children’s picture and chapter books, as well as middle grade and young adult literature.

Employing our wide network of domestic and international agents, publishers, and packagers, we are in an ideal position to develop and execute each individual client’s project.

Our client list is intentionally small and select to maintain a high level of personal involvement and quality.
