Stone Signs with The Belfrey Literary Agency-- 8/24/2004
Colorado fantasy author Scot R. Stone signs with The Belfrey Literary Agency.

It has been a fantastic journey to date for Colorado fantasy author Scot R. Stone. But that journey just took another step in the right direction. Stone has agreed to terms to be represented by The Belfrey Literary Agency, based out of California.

“The agency and I are both extremely excited for this new opportunity. To find an agent that is as enthusiastic and passionate about my work as The Belfrey Literary Agency is a big plus for me. It is also important to have an agent that is reputable and honest with you, two other important characteristics The Belfrey Literary Agency provides for me. This step is as important for my career as signing any book deal. What most people don’t know is that obtaining a quality agent is just as difficult as finding a publishing house.”

Stone met the founder of the agency recently at a conference in Seattle, WA. “I believe it is critical to meet an agent face-to-face. It gives the agent and the author both a great insight about the kind of person you are evaluating. There were many excellent agents and editors at this particular conference and I am grateful to find an agency as talented as this one.”

The agency has worked for over twenty years in the publishing, radio, television and film industries. Mary Louise Schwartz, founder of the agency, has worked as a director, scriptwriter, producer and editor, which has given her a global experience in each of these fields. “To say they bring more to the table than just representation to the literary publishing houses is an understatement,” Stone says. “An agency that can identify a piece of work beyond only a book is just as important to my career and building my image as anything else.”
