GILLIAN MACKENZIE

Gillian MacKenzie has spent her career creating — and helping others create — products for the marketplace. Before starting her agency in 2005, she was Vice President of Jane Startz Productions, Inc., where she spent over 8 years scouting, optioning and developing books into feature films with major studios. Prior to that, she was a product developer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where she conceived of and developed merchandise based on works of art in the collections, for sale in the museum catalogs and stores. She began her career at the literary agency, Curtis Brown, Ltd. I'm mostly interested in adult nonfiction - journalists, strong memoirists, policy makers, scientists/ psychologists... I tend to represent people who are working and/or writing about far-flung places (my authors are everywhere from Tbilisi Georgia to Buenos Aires to orbiting around the earth on the Space Station!).
