Fox Cities Book Festival: Connecting writers and readers across our diverse communities.

Alec Shane is a literary agent with Writers House, one of the largest literary agencies in the world. Prior to working at Writers House, he held a number of different jobs, including a brief stint out in Los Angeles as a professional stuntman. And if you don't think knowing how to take a punch and getting thrown through a glass window are both essential tools in the book business, then you clearly don't know publishing.
