 After countless rejections by lesser known literary agents, Alive took a big gamble on a couple of nobodies telling a wild tale about a real somebody. Alive caught our vision and launched our career to something much greater than we could have ever dreamed with multi-book and movie deals.

I have been closely associated with Rick Christian and Alive Communications for twenty years. That is long enough to test the authenticity of a personal relationship and the professional competence required when dealing with numerous publishers and many books. This is literary agency at its best: impeccable honesty, personal attentiveness, skilled advocacy, and wise counsel. I started out with a literary agent and ended up with a friend.
Alive Communications is known as a literary agency with strong editorial skills and great marketing instincts. Its success as an agency is well documented and irrefutable. Alive has played a vital role in helping me to find great books and talented authors. I maintain a close relationship with the remarkable team of agents at this incredible agency. 
I've been a long time client and fan of everything Alive Communications has done for my career. No other agency carries with it the clout and integrity and influence that Alive Communications has. My career has gone places I wouldn't have dreamed about. I strongly suggest that you sign with Alive Communications. Only a few authors get such a chance.
Alive Communications has played a huge role in the development and maturity of our industry. All of the agents who work there are real professionals, with a great deal of publishing and marketing experience, an uncanny instinct for trends, and a profound understanding of what makes a book connect with its intended audience. Alive is an essential part of our publishing strategy. 
There is at least one writer out there who came to Alive, and came away profoundly grateful, because of my agent's great efficiency in adding value to the entire writing/publishing experience. 
The best in the business. Alive Communications is about more than just better deals. They personify value-added to every publishing agreement and have guided me to a more focused approach, writing less and producing more. 
The Alive agents are an incredible force in the industry--a powerhouse that really shines. The agents know the pulse of the industry--both where it is and where it's likely to be in the future--because they've written extensively and have held the top jobs at various publishing houses. I always enjoy hearing from an Alive agent because they do their homework and come to the table with some of the biggest ideas and freshest voices in fiction.
