WORD: DeFiore and Co. expands to mid-size agency
Edited Press release

DeFiore and Company announced a major expansion with the addition of four new agents, Debra Goldstein, Laura Nolan, Matthew Elblonk and Karen Gerwin. Agency founder Brian DeFiore said the expansion means the firm "is now a solidly mid-size agency.

The four agents moving to DeFiore and Co. were formerly of the agency The Creative Culture, founded in 1998 by Ms. Goldstein and Mary Ann Naples, who recently joined the start-up e-commerce site OpenSky. They joined current DeFiore and Co. agents Laurie Abkemeier, Kate Garrick, Adam Korn and Adam Schear back in  March.

With nine agents and additional support staff, New York City-based DeFiore and Co. is now a solidly mid-size agency with a broad list of non-fiction and fiction authors for adults and young adults, DeFiore said in a press release.

Clients that the four new agents bring to DeFiore and Co. include Lauren Conrad (LA CANDY) , Danica McKellar (MATH DOESN'T SUCK), SARK (SUCCULENT WILD WOMAN), Stacy Morrison, Lou Paget, MJ Ryan, Frances Cole Jones, Dr. Neal Barnard, and Gesine Bullock-Prado among others.
