Frances Goldin (AAR), Agent, Principal
The Frances Goldin Agency celebrated its 30th year in 2007. Frances envisioned a different kind of agency--one which
specialized in literary fiction and serious, controversial, progressive non-fiction. Believing "a better world is possible,"
it was her goal to get books published that would speed that process. She considers herself very lucky to have no dichotomy
between her radical politics and her working life.
