Agent Leigh Feldman has left Darhansoff, Verrill, Feldman, where she worked for 20 years, to join Writers House, starting next month. Feldman says in the announcement, “I’m so lucky to have had the experience of working with Liz and Chuck for the last 20 years. Liz was a wonderful mentor to me and her wisdom and guidance is something that will benefit me as I move on to the next stage of my career with Writers House.” She adds, “I’m impressed by how well they have grasped the complexities and opportunities of digital’s emergence in book publishing. Most importantly, they’re big enough to have the kind of leverage needed in today’s complicated marketplace, but their approach reflects the kind of personalized service usually associated with boutique agencies.”
