Okay, a little about me:


Jenoyne Adams, Principal Agent
In September 2003, Jenoyne Adams joined Levine/Greenberg Literary Agency, New York where she headed their Los Angeles office until January 2008 when she founded BLISS Literary Agency. She had major success developing their young adult and ethnic fiction divisions and contributed such award-winning titles as American Book Award winner Reyna Grande's Across a Hundred Mountains (Atria/Simon & Schuster) and Stegner Fellow Nora Pearce's Insufficiency of Maps (Atria) to the literary fiction category.


A member of the Association of Authors' Representatives (AAR), Adams's publishing career started in early 2001 when her nationally bestselling, critically-acclaimed novel Resurrecting Mingus was published by The Free Press, followed by her second book, Selah's Bed (The Free Press).


From preparing a manuscript or proposal for submission to closing the deal and vetting the publishing contract, Adams enjoys the entire publishing process. Because Adams has worked as both an agent and an author, she is especially able to understand the lives and needs of her clients and she utilizes her personal experience in her agenting approach.

Book sales to her credit include:
