WORD: Folio Literary Management scores another top agent in Celeste Fine

Literary agent Celeste Bernadette Fine told WORD’N’BASS.com that she has joined Folio Literary Management, one of New York City’s hottest new agencies. Fine, who was most recently at Vigliano Associates where she brokered foreign rights deals for rockers like Courtney Love and Scott Weiland, says she is continuing to focus on mostly nonfiction.

Fine’s client list includes authors of everything from health to pop culture books, especially authors with platform-driven projects. However, novelists have an outside chance with Fine, who has represented Sunday Times Fiction Award winner Rayda Jacobs and the foreign rights for Pulitzer Prize winning author Marilynne Robinson, among others.

"I do a little fiction -- and I have to love it -- the characters, the concept, the writing," said Fine. "I mostly respond to really original characters or really timely concepts."

Authors who are interested in pitching Fine on their projects should send a query letter via e-mail to her at cfine (at) folio lit (dot) com.

Folio Literary Management was launched in February 2006 by longtime dealmakers Scott Hoffman, Jeff Kleinman and Paige Wheeler. The firm, which now has six agents on staff, has already brokered nearly 100 deals through November 17. It has offices in NYC and Washington, D.C.
