| Introduction | I’m Jack Jordan, an independent literary agent based in New York City with over a decade of experience guiding both fiction and nonfiction authors from first draft to publishing contract. My background in digital marketing and literature allows me to craft compelling proposals, identify the perfect editorial homes for your work, and package manuscripts for traditional publishers and film/TV producers alike—on a commission-only basis. I’m passionate about championing fresh voices, demystifying the publishing process, and helping writers build sustainable careers. Whether you’re refining your query letter or exploring book-to-screen possibilities, I’m here to be your advocate every step of the way. |
