Literary Specialties: I am most interested in narrative and prescriptive non-fiction, especially on sports, wellness, business, political and parenting topics. I love memoirs that transport the reader into another person’s head and give a voyeuristic view of another person's extraordinary experiences. I enjoy literary and commercial fiction and some young adult and middle-grade books that take the reader on a journey and are just plain fun to read. Talent Management: I manage a select number of my literary and entertainment clients, advising them over the course of their careers. More at www.leshneagency.com

❤️ A beautiful love story for Valentine’s Day by author Julissa Arce in Vogue. #myundergroundamericandream #someonelikeme
In Vogue’s Love Stories series, we explore love in all its forms.
The Leshne Agency's author Julissa Arce, a formerly undocumented immigrant from Mexico, wrote her thoughts about AMERICAN DIRT for Buzzfeed. Julissa's books are MY (UNDERGROUND) AMERICAN DREAM and SOMEONE LIKE ME. I highly recommend them both! 📚 Hachette Book Group Little, Brown Books for Young Readers #dreamers #myundergroundamericandream #someonelikeme
As a formerly undocumented Mexican immigrant, I’ve longed for more books telling our stories to be published and celebrated. Jeanine Cummins’ American Dirt is not what I was hoping for.
The Leshne Agency's author Barry Levine gave a terrific TV interview to NBC News in LA detailing the 47 new allegations of sexual misconduct by Donald Trump in his book with co-author Monique El-Faizy, ALL THE PRESIDENT'S WOMEN: DONALD TRUMP AND THE MAKING OF A PREDATOR. While he's skated free so far, there are currently two defamation cases against Trump by Summer Zervos and E.Jean Carroll moving forward through the courts. Will justice ever be served?

Reporter and author of ‘All the President’s Women: Donald Trump and the Making of a Predator’, Barry Levine sat down with California Live to discuss the book. The book details allegations of sexual misconduct against President Donald Trump and his history with women. As seen on California Live...
Congrats to co-authors Barry Levine and Monique El-Faizy for ALL THE PRESIDENT'S WOMEN being named one of the best political books of 2019 by UK's PROSPECT!
"The evidence collected by Barry Levine and Monique El-Faizy in All the President’s Women (Trapeze) should keep prosecutors busy. Trump is an alpha male—while dating Ivana, he threw a hissy fit when she turned out to be a better skier. More serious are the 26 new allegations of unwanted sexual contact documented here. “These abuses took place over the course of decades and were far from secret,” they write. It’s a story familiar from that of Jeffrey Epstein, the sex-offender Trump said was a “terrific guy” and “a lot of fun to be with.”"
As part of Prospect's Books of the Year special, we round up the best books about politics
Excellent article on ALL THE PRESIDENT’S WOMEN in InStyle magazine.
“So why haven’t the sexual misconduct allegations against Trump made more of an impact? “Despite us being surrounded by new stories of #MeToo, whether it’s Harvey Weinstein or Jeffrey Epstein or Bill Cosby, Trump is just not receiving that type of scrutiny, which to me is shocking,” Levine tells InStyle. “It’s mind-boggling to me that we have a president who — take away the impeachment inquiry and what he may or may not have done — separate from that, we have a predator president.”
“Crimes against women are just not taken as seriously, and that has to do with how we value women in society,” El-Faizy tells InStyle. “He said he could do this, and we elected him anyway, and that says more about American society than it does about Donald Trump. I mean, we know who he is, but it says something about us that we allow that man to be our president.”
"I mean, we know who he is, but it says something about us that we allow that man to be our president," one of the authors tells InStyle.
Once again, The Leshne Agency’s author, Julissa Arce, speaks truth to power. 👊🏽
“I’ve always thought that it is immigrants who believe in and love America the most,” said Julissa Arce, an immigration rights advocate who came to the US from Mexico when she was 11. “We’re willing to risk our lives and leave everything behind to come to this country and give everything. The bravest people who came up to testify at the hearings were the ones who said you have to fight to keep our democracy alive.” #myundergroundamericandream #someonelikeme Hachette Books Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
Vindman, Yovanovitch and Hill showed an unshaken faith in America. But Republicans could not resist cynical innuendo on ‘dual loyalties’
⭐️ Starred review from Library Journal for #allthepresidentswomen by Barry Levine & Monique El-Faizy. #predatorpresident The Leshne Agency Hachette Book Group
⭐️ "While many of the most shocking incidents discussed here are public knowledge, the significant new material and the book’s usefulness as a single-volume source on the topic make this not only a critical current read but one likely to become even more important in the future."

Natasha Stoynoff, former correspondent for PEOPLE magazine, and one of Trump's first whistleblowers, wrote this spot-on piece in The Washington Post:
"Two weeks ago, 43 new allegations of sexual misconduct by Trump surfaced in a new book, “All the President’s Women: Donald Trump and the Making of a Predator,” by Barry Levine and Monique El-Faizy. My sisters and I were not surprised; we suspect there are even more out there...Once again, the heat is on. The women are back, forces to be reckoned with, in the court of law and public opinion. And once again, an election is looming. But for us, the question remains: Will this, finally, be the time when enough people care?"
Will this, finally, be the time when enough people care?
📚 We are thrilled to announce this 2-book deal with cartoonist by day and rockstar 🎸 by night, Instagram sensation Tommy Siegel!

👊🏽A very powerful interview and video. ALL THE PRESIDENT'S WOMEN: Donald Trump and the Making of a Predator by Barry Levine & Monique El-Faizy is getting a lot of coverage in print, but so far, nothing on mainstream TV. WHY? Do 43 additional allegations of sexual misconduct by the sitting president just not matter? Do these women's stories not matter? Are we so desensitized and used to this behavior by Trump that it's not "news"? The book puts all these allegations together and uncovers a lot of new information. He's a sexual predator who certainly belongs in the same category at Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein. To quote Monique, "When we brush aside or when we say we’re tired of this, we’re being complicit, we’re letting it go on. We have to get outraged about every one of these things." For those of you with a voice and a platform, please share and use your influence to get these stories the attention they deserve. Buy the book. Encourage the mainstream media to cover this. Two upcoming opportunities to hear the authors interviewed in person: 7 pm Fri. Oct. 25th at Politics and Prose Bookstore in DC and 7 pm Wed., Oct. 30th at Barnes & Noble Upper West Side in NYC. Both events are free and open to the public and I hope to see you there. 📚 Hachette Book Group The Leshne Agency

A Q&A in Esquire w authors Barry Levine & Monique El-Faizy from ALL THE PRESIDENT’S WOMEN: DONALD TRUMP AND THE MAKING OF A PREDATOR. On Sale Today!
" The reason we have this president is because these stories are not seen as important--because women’s stories have been for decades either brushed off as insignificant or dismissed as untrue. I think that’s a factor in this, and it’s also that people look at stories like this as personal behavior. It’s important to remember that his conduct with women is a reflection of his attitudes about women. This is a man setting policy for women, about women--not just in the US, but globally with the abortion gag rule. These stories are incredibly significant not just because women shouldn’t be treated poorly, but because they affect women’s lives around the world. I think that’s getting lost. People see these stories as personal transgressions, and they don’t think about the larger ramifications."

A deeply personal piece by The Leshne Agency's author, Julissa Arce Raya in TIME. The El Paso shooter didn't ask any of the 22 people he killed for their papers, or if they came to the U.S. “the right way,” or if they immigrated “legally.” We are living in a very dark time. I commend Julissa for continuing to speak truth to power. #someonelikeme #myundergroundamericandream #VOTE
I naively believed all my fears would be erased when I became a U.S. citizen
