Writers Literary Agency Services Announces Acquisition of The Literary Agency Group



The WLA group of companies announces the acquisition of The Literary Agency Group of companies and simultaneously increases it'ss capacity to accept new talent.

WLA is the second largest editing company in the world behind Scribendi. WLA is embarking on a vertical integration strategy that includes buying the best writing talent in the country through the acquisition of select literary agencies.

Publishers applaud the new model. Authors that have been edited before the submission process are that much more valuable to publishers fighting tight margins and escalating costs and competition.

WLA is also seeking new authors to submit their work. New writers and fresh talent are the lifeblood of the industry, states Robert West, Principal. We are unique in that we are willing to work with writers to grow their talent. We will do what it takes to make our writers ready for the market.

The acquisition of the literary agency is further evidence that we are creating a trend in what has been a fragmented and boutique industry, continued Mr. West. We believe we may have the largest database of edited and credentialed writers in the world. This only serves to make our relationships with our publishers stronger.

WLA recently attended Book Expo America and exhibited in the International Literary Rights Centre. Further acquisitions will be announced soon.
