Mark Malatesta is Founder and CEO of Literary Agent Undercover™ the only company in the world focused (exclusively) on helping writers get top literary agents, so they can also get top publishers and major book deals... and make a living writing books.
Mark is a former literary agent and AAR member (the Owner of "New Brand Agency Group") who's helped both fiction and nonfiction writers launch their publishing careers like thriller writer Jim Brown (24/7, Random House), award-winning young adult author Carol Plum-Ucci (The Body of Christopher Creed, Harcourt), nonfiction self-help author Aggie Jordan (The Marriage Plan, Doubleday-Broadway), and best-selling gift book author Harry Harrison (Father to Daughter, Workman), and many more... resulting in millions of books sold, as well as works being picked up for TV, stage, and feature film (with companies like Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks). Mark's authors have gotten 6-figure advances, been on the NY Times bestseller list, been licensed in more than 30 countries, and won countless national and international awards and honors.
Mark also spent several years as Marketing & Licensing Manager of Blue Mountain Arts (the book and gift publisher that invented e-greetings, then sold their e-card division for close to $1 billion at the height of the dot com bubble). Mark negotiated distribution and licensing deals with top buyers around the world at events like Book Expo America (BEA), the London Book Fair, and the Frankfurt Book Fair. He also helped scout new talent and develop new products.
A writer at heart (the reason he got into publishing in the first place), Mark understands writers. And he
loves sharing his "insider knowledge" in a way that helps them position themselves (and their work) in the best way possible. In other words, do everything they can to give their work bestseller or high commercial potential. Mark has been invited to write feature articles for publications like
The Guide to Literary Agents, a column for
WritersDigest.com, and he's
delivered keynote addresses and seminars at some of the most prominent writers' conferences in the United States and abroad. Learn more at at

*A Note From Rebekah: In the spirit of The Season Of Giving - I have decided to create a special series of messages JUST FOR YOU consisting purely of GIFTS that I know you will enjoy. I have asked some of my most-respected colleagues to GIVE you their very best stuff. Stuff that anywhere else you might pay hundreds or thousands of dollars to enjoy, that YOU are going to be receiving "on the house". I am calling it "12 Days Of Gifts".
Over the next 12 days you will get at least one fabulous gift from me each day. All you have to do is open - and enjoy. It will be like getting to open a different package every morning! Each gift is guaranteed to contain tremendous value, so I hope you will take advantage of each and every one. And at the end I'll give you an exclusive sneak peek at all the great things we're launching for you on January 1, 2012 - TWO WEEKS before anyone else gets to see them! ENJOY - and Merry Christmas! www.ConnectWithRebekah.com
