Brisbane-based literary agency Alex Adsett Publishing Services is quickly establishing itself as a successful force in the market.
After starting the agency only eighteen months ago, emerging agent Alex Adsett has successfully brokered sales of six books from eleven authors to publishers. Two deals were locked in during the 2013 Sydney Writers Festival, with a third finalised this week. More sales are currently under final negotiation.
