DSM Agency is currently not taking on new projects. After 20 years in business, with 90 clients, about 600 deals made (over 100 domestic, 450 translations, 50 subsidiary rights), and 20 interns, I have decided to concentrate on the business we currently have and take a break from adding new clients. The industry is changing rapidly and I need time to rethink the literary agency business model.
All the best,
Doris

Treat others right. Expect others to treat you well. If they don't or won't, you don't need them dragging you down. Jim Rohn and I taught in our book, Twelve Pillars, that you should limit your association with people who aren't in a mutually beneficial relationship with you! Surround yourself with GREAT people!
