Voices from Our Authors
“Ivan is truly one-of-a-kind: gifted, patient, charming, and a diligent professional. I spent almost five years unsure about partnering with an agent, but the instant Ivan reached out, I was confident we'd make a great team—and the results have proved this belief to be true. Not only does he land great deals, but he’s brilliant at demystifying our complicated industry and excels at identifying and meeting authors' needs. What more could one ask for?”
“I have worked with Ivan for over 15 years, and it has always been a pleasure. He has a very unusual combination of talents: genuine artistic insight and enthusiasm, deeply cunning market awareness, subtle inter-personal skills coupled with charisma and a quick wit. In making deals, his knowledge of the publishing world – the right people to be talking to and when to do it, and in what hands a project is likely to achieve its optimal realisation – is hugely impressive.”
“When I needed an agent quickly last year there was only one I seriously considered. I met Ivan (no relation) at a Dublin event in 2018 and he asked me to keep in touch. Anytime I sent him something he responded swiftly and kindly. He has a clear sight of the publishing landscape, will always go out to bat for his authors and has been an anchor to me in a brilliant and tumultuous year.”
“I was new to the publishing world and I don't think I could have had a better or more inspiring agent. Working with Ivan for the past few years has been brilliant. Throughout the process of writing my first novel, he's been patient, transparent and has provided indispensable guidance that has helped me to become a better writer. His infectious energy and unflinching honesty have helped me through some particularly difficult times. I couldn't feel luckier or be happier to still be working with him today.”
