Amanda is the top selling nonfiction literary agent with High Line Literary Collective and is known in the publishing world for doing things differently. Having personally gone through the process as an author, she has set out to enhance the author’s experience every step of the way. When you choose Amanda as your agent, you will have a partner from the initial meeting to well after the publication date.

In addition to her work as a literary agent, Amanda is the founder and strategist behind Flatiron Publicity, nonfiction book publicity services for her own clients and other authors. With a strong background in public relations and communications, Amanda is in an unique position to support nonfiction authors in creating a comprehensive promotional plan to get as many eyes on the book as possible.

CLIENT BENEFITS:

  • I only represent books that I wholeheartedly believe that the world needs. From the initial pitch to submission to publication day and beyond, I will be your partner through the entire process. I also serve as your cheerleader, your unofficial therapist, and accountability partner.

  • My clients get a 12-month comprehensive, strategic promotional plan for their launch. I develop a customized social media plan, promote on both amanda-bernardi.com and flatironpublicity.com, and create marketing materials for the author to use to promote their book.

  • The goal is to get your book in as many hands as possible. We achieve this by activating your network through leaning into parasocial relationships, identifying new target audiences and influencers, and maximizing inter-client collaborations.

  • Flatiron Publicity will identify U.S. cities for your book tour, facilitate bookstore partnerships, and outreach to venues to secure launch events. All the logistics will be handled, leaving you to focus your efforts elsewhere.
