May Speakers
Daniela Rapp has been an editor at St. Martin's Press since 2003. Currently acquisitions editor, her list of projects have a wide range. She's actively looking for mysteries (historical and contemporary), high-concept women's fiction, serious narrative nonfiction titles, as well as books about pets, animals, nature, American history, language and humor, and travel. She is not interested in representing historical fiction, chick lit, romance, and very few prescriptive books. She is especially interested in multi-cultural projects and Native American topics.
Prior to joining Bienstock Agency, agent Paul Fedorko had been a literary agent at Trident Media Group for more than five years, ran the Paul Fedorko Agency, and spent more than twenty years as a publishing and marketing executive at Bantam, Doubleday Dell, Simon & Schuster and William Morrow, working with many name brand, as well as first-time, authors. Interested in all phases of literature, his passion is "helping authors develop their projects and partnering them with the right editor and publisher." Currently, he's looking for commercial fiction, thrillers, mysteries, romantic suspense, business, sports, celebrity and popular culture.
Shirley McCann's short stories have appeared in everything from Woman's World and Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine to True Confessions and Short Stories Magazine. A prolific writer of short stories, with one YA book in print and a suspense novel being marketed, she's a powerhouse writer. She's had over a dozen short stories published in Woman's World Magazine, and she'll be sharing that expertise at the OWL May meeting. Her subject will be Writing the Short Story and How To Find Short Story Markets.
