WORK WITH ME
HEY THERE ASPIRING AUTHOR, I HAVE GOOD NEWS!

It is possible to publish that book you love so much — and feel proud of it.

You’ve spent the last few years working on your passion project and have finally finished writing your book. Maybe you’ve mustered the courage to show a few friends. But now, you’re left scratching your head.

✖️ You feel your draft is stuck in a rut. You know there are things you can improve on, but are unsure of how to do it.

✖️ The book publishing industry feels scary and finding a literary agent is confusing – what do you even do next?

✖️ Revising your book feels so daunting and overwhelming that you’re wondering if you should even try at all.

IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY

MEET YOUR EXPERT LITERARY AGENT

Hi, I’m Jack. Book lover and your biggest story supporter. Here to guide you on your book journey.

I help writers like you feel more confident in their stories and get one step closer to their dream of seeing them traditionally published.

Because that precious story you’ve been holding close to your heart (you know, the one you’ve been thinking about nonstop but are kind of terrified to share with the world?)…

It’s awesome. Seriously. Your story deserves to be told, read by hundreds or millions of readers worldwide. It deserves to be celebrated. And it deserves to be traditionally published!  Which is why I’m here – with nearly a decade of experience – to show you exactly how to take your story from rough draft to a sparkling diamond in the rough!

HI, I’M JACK JORDAN
I’m passionate about helping you make a powerful and lasting impact through storytelling.

As Literary Agent, I help our authors share their stories with new audiences in new formats. I love travelling in the overlapping spaces between publishing, film, television, theatre, podcasts, and more.

I’ve worked with book writers and authors at all stages of their careers — from first-time novelists to New York Times bestselling authors. Believe me when I say, I’ve seen it all! No matter what stage of your book publishing journey you’re at, I’m here to guide you through the challenges and celebrate the triumphs!

FILM/TELEVISION/THEATRE/MORE

Looking for the next great book to adapt? I’d love to hear from you. Give me a shout, even if you don’t have a specific title in mind, and I’ll tell you about our incredible authors.

Alex Davis and Leap Write have been a great help to us. They are very professional and work very efficiently to expedite the process of publication and marketing. We received our first call from a movie producer just two days after submitting our query letter to movie studios. We would recommend their service to anyone looking to publish or to turn their writing project into a movie.
