TESTIMONIALS
Diana Montane, I Would Find a Girl Walking: Letters from a Serial Killer (Berkley Publishing March 2011):
"I am thrilled that I came across Linda Langton’s agency for our true-crime book about a serial killer, “I Would Find a Girl Walking." Linda was efficient, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and persistent, and was able to secure a contract for us with the best publisher, in our opinion, of true-crime books, Berkley/Penguin Books. Linda develops strong relationships with both clients and editors alike, and is a true pleasure to work with."
Chris DiGuiseppe and Mike Force, The Light Bringer (HCI June 2010):
"We owe a special debt of gratitude to our mentor and literary agent and friend, Linda Langton, who truly brought our writing to a new level and instilled confidence to continue onward. "
Mike Hill, author of Cannibal Capitalism (John Wiley and Sons November 2011):
"Finding an agent is hard enough, but finding one that "gets it" is nearly a miracle. Linda gets it. She is the eager advocate that a writer needs. When I wasn't able to make it to the big BookExpo in New York, it was as if I were there anyway because of her tenacious representation. From the beginning of our relationship, I could see that it would be a good one."
Adam Slutsky, author of Don't Marry A Stripper:
"While there are many reputable literary agents out there, Linda Langton is among the finest in the game. Her zeal, attention to detail and overall professionalism made Langtons International Agency my far-and-away first choice to represent my manuscript and, hopefully, my future projects. Naturally, I was delighted when my query resulted in an expedient-and positive-response. Never have I felt more comfortable putting my career in someone else's hands. So if you're looking for a literary agent with excellent publishing relationships, a proven track record and a genuine respect for authors and the craft of writing, you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone better!"
John Gerassi, Talking with Sartre (US/UK: Yale University Press November 2009)/(France: Grasset/Spain and Mexico: Editorial Sexto Piso August 2010):
"It was my literary agent, Linda Langton of Langtons International Agency, who really made the book possible, by spending hours pushing and encouraging me when the task seemed too formidable, holding my hand when I was depressed and constantly reminding me that I was privy to the mind of one of the greatest thinkers of the twentieth century and not to waste it."
Lisa Bonnice and Stacey M. Kananen, co-authors of the soon-to-be-published Sink or Swim: the Stacey Kananen Story:
"When we were first thinking of hiring Linda Langton, we didn’t know what to look for in a good agent. We were newbies at this particular aspect of professional writing, so we looked at the testimonials on her website and saw that she had numerous very happy clients. We thought, “Okay, we’ll give Linda a try and see what happens.” Well, here it is just a few months later and we are about to sign a contract with Berkley Books. Plus, Linda is now shopping the movie rights for us. We, too, are very happy clients and definitely recommend her services!"
Gayle Pruitt, author of The Dog-Gone Good Cookbook: for Humans and their Canine Kids (St. Martin's Press 2012):
"I’m a newby author and did not have a clue as to how to get my Dog-Gone Good Cookbook published. Linda Langton was my savior. She believed in the project from the beginning and helped me through every step of my proposal. Within one week of Linda sending out my proposal she had two very nice offers from well respected large publishing companies. Thank you Linda you are a blessing."
Stanley Renshon, The Obama Presidency and the Politics of Change Routledge Publishing (Spring 2011):
