As a literary agent and romance author Ann Rose has a view from two sides of the publishing industry.

Ann Rose is a literary agent with The Tobias Literary Agency where she represents authors who write in all genres of middle grade and young adult fiction as well as selective adult genres (Light fantasy/sci-fi, cozy fantasy, romantasy, romance, thriller, mystery, horror, and selective non-fiction projects). She sells books mostly to big five publishers and has a couple USA Today best sellers on her growing list. Aside from working with publishers, she also is building her contacts in Hollywood and has already sold projects to studios. Ann is also a romance author with one book out from Penguin Random House (Berkley) The Seemingly Impossible Love Life of Amanda Dean, and one to be released in September of this year; A HEXCELLENT CHANCE TO FALL IN LOVE. Because of this, Ann has multiple views of the publishing industry, and can speak to both sides and the challenges it takes to break in. (Yes, she had to go through what all authors do and cold query her projects to agents.)
