Testimonials for the Agency

Bonnie MacBird,
Art in the Blood (HarperCollins UK, 2015), Unquiet Spirits (HarperCollins UK, 2017), The Devil's Due (HarperCollins UK, 2019) "Linda Langton did a marvelous job as my literary agent in selling my book series Art in the Blood: A Sherlock Holmes Adventure to HarperCollins. As a first time novelist, I needed guidance on the submission and negotiation process and her experience, kindness and communication talent made all of this understandable and smooth. She was creative in her approach, wise in her selection, and has managed to place this book in excellent hands. What a pleasure it has been to be in such expert hands. Any author would be lucky to work with her. Thank you, Linda!"

Phyllis Melhado,
The Spa at Lavender Lane (Black Rose Writing, 2020) "Linda Langston is the consummate literary agent.  She cares about the written word and genuinely respects writers. Her mission is to help them on their journey. She’s present, persistent, and she delivers!  I am most fortunate to have her representing me!"

Judith Aller,
Trumbo (Grand Central Publishing, November 2015)
"Smart, honest, perceptive and persistent, Linda Langton herself is keenly aware of her obligation to her clients, and Langtons International Agency is a rare find for any author. Why? Because the combination of marketing and sales is the key to understanding an author's needs in the publishing world of today. And Langtons International Agency has it all right on the money, marketing experience and the instinct in knowing where a book belongs."

Dana Huntley, America’s Forgotten Colonial History (Lyons Press, 2019) "I am happy to add my cheers to the many accolades Linda Langton receives from the writers she represents. Having worked with her now spanning 15 years, I can attest that Linda is sharp as a whip; she knows her stuff; and she is a go-getter. I can’t imagine three qualities more prized by any author seeking an agent."

Ethlie Ann Vare, Love Addict: Sex, Romance, and Other Drugs (Health Communications Inc, 2011) "Linda is an agent who not only establishes a personal connection with each of her authors, but explores every avenue for getting their books both published and read. She is willing to try new things in new ways, because the publishing world is changing and she isn't afraid to change with it. Most important, she is honest and accountable and her word is her bond."
