Literary Agency & Consultancy, LLC.

The Agency

Luciana Villas-Boas and Raymond Moss created VB&M in 2012 with a group of twelve brave author-clients, friends since Editora Record, where she was publisher for 17 years. Currently, VB&M has 50 individual clients in Brazil, Portugal and France, represents 22 international Publishing Houses and Literary Agencies into the Brazilian market and has partnered with 11 co-agents for English, Portuguese, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Israeli, Polish, Hungarian, Bulgarian, Turkish and Nordic languages.

Among the major markets, only in Germany we act with no co-agents. From her experience as a Publisher, Luciana brought the taste for dialogue with her authors about their projects, trimming and sharpening book proposals and consulting on a variety of publishing, cinema and theatrical possibilities in Brazil and abroad. We also advise on our authors literary careers aiming to consolidate their names and to widen the visibility of their books and reception by the readers.

Graduated in International Relations, Miguel Sader soon realized that what interests him most is promoting the international exchange of ideas and culture. With a predilection sometimes for fiction, sometimes for non-fiction, he also enjoys reading poetry. In the world of literary agency, he regrets that the good poetry of new authors does not lend itself to being represented.
