Cricket Pechstein (founder of the Christina Pechstein Agency — we’re sensing someone has a nickname) and Jeffery McGraw (late of Harpercollins) have joined forces to form The August Agency. Since they have a website, we leave it to you know learn all about submitting and what they want from you. We will go out on a limb and suggest that knowledge of Latin might be a bonus, though, obviously, not required.

Hmm, the golden age of Roman literature? Augustus built a lot of roads and aqueducts but wasn’t much for literature.
