Reposted from Lucienne Diver's Blog:
The Knight Agency has started up a very exciting program to facilitate e-book publication for those of our authors who want to take advantage. To be clear, we’re NOT becoming a digital publisher. We’re not taking a publishers' cut or submissions or doing anything but working collaboratively with our authors who want to take advantage of the program. We’re doing all the legwork in getting books scanned, putting together a database of copyeditors and arranging for cover art, ISBNs, new cover copy, etc., much of it at the agency’s expense and for only the agency’s regular commission. And ONLY for our authors.
We are NOT giving up on traditional publishing. Rather, this program is for backlist which is no longer available or had never been digitized to begin with or for projects that have not found a home with publishing houses but which the authors and agents agree should absolutely be in the hands of readers who will adore them as much as we do. We’re not telling anyone they have to go through us. Rather, we’re providing a whole lot of really exciting incentives, like marketing and promotion.
Our first titles will launch in September. We’ve got an incredible line-up, with backlist from bestsellers like Stephanie Rowe, Rachel Caine, writing as Roxanne Conrad, Cecil Murphy, Susan Sizemore, Christie Golden and others. You’ll definitely be hearing more about this as the launch approaches.

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 We are open to unpublished authors, newly published ones, and certainly top-tier published authors who are looking to take their careers to the next level.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.
