Anne Hawkins
Anne Hawkins is a literary agent with John Hawkins & Associates, New York. Founded in 1893 by Paul R. Reynolds, it is the oldest literary agency in the country, and Anne joined it in 1996. In addition to representing her own client list, Anne is a foreign rights representative for the agency. She is a member of the Association of Authors' Representatives (AAR). In fiction, she prefers works right on the borderline between literary and commercial, although she also enjoys mystery/suspense. First novels are always a high risk/high reward situation, but she has had considerable success with a number of them, including William Kowalski's EDDIE'S BASTARD (HarperCollins), which has been translated into thirteen languages to date, ARTIFACTS by Mary Anna Evans (Poisoned Pen Press), winner of both the Florida Novel Of The Year for 2003 and the Benjamin Franklin Award for best suspense novel published by an independent press. Of her authors' fiction titles published in 2005, three were debut novels. Her nonfiction list is eclectic, but centers on narrative projects concerning history, current events, science, nature, medicine, women's and family issues. Some representative nonfiction books include New York Times best sellers REAGAN: A LIFE IN LETTERS and REAGAN IN HIS OWN HAND, edited by Kiron Skinner, Annelise Anderson, and Martin Anderson (The Free Press); THESE HONORED DEAD: HOW THE STORY OF GETTYSBURG SHAPED AMERICAN MEMORY by Thomas Desjardin (Da Capo Press); THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO HYSTERECTOMY, By Dr. Lauren Streicher (M. Evans), and THE PETERSON FIELD GUIDE TO ANIMAL TRACKS (Revised) by Olaus Murie and Mark Elbroch (Houghton-Mifflin). |
