About Evan Marshall

Literary agent and author Evan Marshall began his career as a book editor at New American Library, Everest House, and Dodd, Mead.

After making the decision to switch to the agent side of the business, he joined The Sterling Lord Agency, where he worked for three years before opening The Evan Marshall Agency nearly 15 years ago.

During that time, Marshall maintained his writing career, publishing his first book, Eye Language, in 1983. The Marshall Plan for Novel Writing, published in 1998, went back to press for a second printing only a month after its release, and a new mystery series debuts this summer when Kensington releases Missing Marlene.

He also contributes articles on writing and publishing to Writer's Digest and other magazines, including his column for Romance Communications, "Ask Evan Marshall: Answers and Advice from a Literary Agent."
