Mission

ENLIVEN: to quicken, vivify, inspirit or animate. To arouse, to inspire, to energize. To excite, rejuvenate and restore. To activate.

ENLIVEN is a future-thinking agency which provides a dynamic, interdisciplinary home to writers and creators of all stripes. Our goal is to expand the definition of what a literary agency does to support its clients. We strive to be a true creative partner, helping writers to grow and develop across all mediums. We are proud to say that many of our clients are multi-hyphenates– writers, actors, dancers, musicians, visual artists, poets, translators, and performers. We believe that by truly understanding and tapping into their unique gifts and aspirations, we can break boundaries and help them thrive.

ENLIVEN offers a full suite of services, including literary agenting, book to film and TV rights, international rights, as well as a film development and production arm. The agency’s philosophy is centered on providing transparency and authenticity to authors of exceptional voice within a highly curated atmosphere which fosters a boutique feel while providing a full range of literary services world-wide, across all media.

Nimble, client-focused, and interdisciplinary, we want clients to have the feeling that we are throwing open the doors to our house and saying, “Welcome home. You belong here.”  ENLIVEN embraces a quirky marriage between the collaborative atmosphere of LA’s film world and the hallowed halls of the East Coast literary scene. Disruptors at heart, we don’t care much for boundaries, geographic, artistic, or otherwise. Our feeling is: “Let’s let some of that West Coast sunshine into our dimly lit literary stacks. It gets stuffy in here!”

ENLIVEN’s commitment to offering cutting-edge literary and film services focused on multi-media innovation with a bi-coastal partnership sets it apart as a new leader in the industry.
