About Our Guest:
Michael Larsen and his wife and partner Elizabeth Pomada worked in publishing in New York before moving to San Francisco in 1970 and starting Michael Larsen-Elizabeth Pomada Literary Agents in 1972. They are members of the Association of Authors’ Representatives and have sold hundreds of books to more than 100 publishers and imprints. They are as eager as ever to find promising new writers.
Mike loves helping writers. He handles adult nonfiction and also has a consulting service for nonfiction writers he can’t help as an agent. Mike is the author of the fourth edition of How to Write a Book Proposal, which has sold more than 100,000 copies. He also wrote How to Get a Literary Agent, now in its third edition, and with Jay Conrad Levinson, Rick Frishman, and David Hancock, is coauthor of the second edition of Guerrilla Marketing for Writers: 100 Weapons for Selling Your Work.
Elizabeth and Michael are coauthors of the six books in the Painted Ladies series about Victorian houses, which sparked a national movement and have sold more than 500,000 copies. The trade journal Publishers Weekly chose the second book in the series, Daughters of Painted Ladies: America’s Resplendent Victorians, as one of the best books of the year.
Mike and Elizabeth speak for writer’s organizations and conferences. Michael gives talks and seminars based on “10 Commandments That, with Luck, Guarantee Your Success as a Writer,” a humor-filled, inspirational, comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview of writing, publishing, and building a career.
