As a literary agent who had the honor of representing Uglies by Scott Westerfeld and, after selling the title to Penguin Random House, I am proud to announce that the movie is now available on Netflix under the title The Uglies. It’s exciting to see how a story that has impacted so many readers comes to life on screen and reaches new audiences.
I am currently representing another of his incredible works: Impostors, the first book in an addictive series. In this new setting, readers will encounter unexpected twists and a deadly environment where any misstep could be the last. It’s a fast-paced story that maintains the essence of Westerfeld: strong, complex characters and moral dilemmas that provoke deep reflection.
As a literary agent, it is truly a source of pride to see all the hard work, both from the author and the editorial team, bear fruit. Watching these books continue to resonate with readers, and now, with the film adaptations, reach even more people, is an indescribable reward. This is what makes this job so special: being part of an author’s creative and professional journey and seeing how their stories slowly conquer the world.
