The official blog of The Knight Agency, a boutique-style literary agency with offices on both the east and west coasts. TKA specializes in discovering authors of vivid fiction, particularly in the areas of young adult, middle grade, women's fiction and romance. We are open to unpublished authors, newly published ones, and certainly top-tier published authors who are looking to take their careers to the next level. We believe in a multi-pronged approach to career management that focuses not only on front list titles, but nurturing the backlist in all subsidiary rights categories. With four agents in-house, our tastes are broad and widely represented at TKA, and that translates to a diverse author base--and means that we never get bored! What are we eager to find in 2008? More authors of young adult and middle grade, nonfiction authors of all types, and women's fiction authors. Some romance also, especially in the teen lit area.
1. Congrats Rosemary!

The Knight Agency would like to give a big congratulations to Rosemary Clement-Moore for her latest yound adult release, Texas Gothic, making it onto the Kirkus Review's Best TEnn Books of 2011 list! WOOHOO! We absolutely loved this book from the start here at TKA, and are overjoyed tha tit is receiving such well-deserved praise. Go Rosemary!

The 411 on TEXAS GOTHIC: Amy Goonight's family is far from normal. She comes from a line of witches, but tries her best to stay far outside the family business. Her summer gig? Ranch-sitting for her aunt with her wacky but beautiful sister. Only the Goodnight Ranch is even less normal than it normally is. Bodies are being discovered, a ghost is on the prowl, and everywhere she turns, the hot neighbor cowboy is in her face.

"A deeply affectionate rendering of Texas landscapes and legends combines with an appealing cast of well-developed characters to give texture to this well-plotted mystery: truly scary moments are balanced by the humorous bumbles of the awkwardly developing romance between Amy and Ben, as well as Phin's sublime cluelessness about the way her eccentricities appear to other people. The mystery itself is a richly imagined interpolation on documented history and lore of the area; readers who've outgrown the silliness but not the adventure of Scooby-Doo will thoroughly enjoy this." --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"This engaging mystery has plenty of both paranormal and romance, spiced with loving families and satisfyingly packed with self-sufficient, competent girls." --Kirkus, Starred Review

"Teen looking for a rollicking adventure filled with paranormal events, dastardly evildoers, and laugh-out-loud moments as Amy and Ben argue and snipe their way to love will adore this book." --School Library Journal, Starred Review
