ICM Partners has acquired The Sagalyn Agency after a four-year alliance with the Washington, DC based literary agency. Raphael Sagalyn becomes a partner at ICM Partners, effective immediately. Co-heads of the publishing division at ICM Esther Newberg and Sloan Harris said in the announcement, “The acquisition of The Sagalyn Agency gives us an important presence in Washington, DC, at a time when the world’s eyes are on the city moment by moment and the opportunities in publishing are boundless. Strategic value and culture are our primary concerns as we continue to carefully grow ICM Partners, and in The Sagalyn Agency, much like Headline Media and Royce Carlton, we share a successful and productive, long-term, working relationship that has greatly benefited our clients.”
