Alexander Korzhenevski Literary Agency offers professional services to proprietors, authors and artists
Founded in the early 1990s as the very first literary agency in Russia, we have grown into a company with a truly international reach. Over the years, we have established enduring partnerships with many of the world’s largest publishing houses, who continue to entrust us with their most important titles and authors. Our reputation is built on professionalism, integrity, and results that speak for themselves.
We take pride in representing exceptional works that have found readers around the world — here are some of our notable titles.
Today we are proud to represent the interests of over 100 esteemed proprietors, authors, and artists from every corner of the globe. Our diverse clientele includes renowned universities presses, such as Harvard, Duke, MIT, Columbia, California, North Carolina, Cambridge, Oxford, as well as publishing houses like Hachette Book Group, John Wiley & Sons, Taylor & Francis and many others.
