Currently Looking For
My name is Tina P. Schwartz, and I started The Purcell Agency in 2012 to help writers get their manuscripts published. I wanted as many people as I could help be seen and heard. A majority of my signed authors started out as debut authors, and now some have several titles to their credit. I am an author myself, so I know the trials and tribulations of being in the querying trenches. I think that helps me navigate the editing process and submission process with clear goals for the authors I represent. Fun facts about me: My first published book as an author was MOTOCROSS FREESTYLE, a nonfiction book for kids, because I let my 4 year old get a motorcycle and start racing. (What was I thinking?!)
