Allison Hunter &
Alexis Hurley
"The publishing consultations offered a great deal of useful
information. They gave great general knowledge (with many specifics) but
also took the time to respond to the interests and needs of every
participant." - 2012 Workshop Attendee
Allison Hunter began her publishing career in 2005
working for the Los Angeles-based literary publicity firm, Kim-from-L.A.
She then spent three years in law school, during which she was a summer
associate at the global law firm Latham & Watkins and the head
writer of the law school musical. After practicing pro bono family law
at a San Francisco Bay Area nonprofit, Allison returned to the
publishing world at InkWell, where she is actively acquiring fiction
(particularly women’s fiction and romance), memoir, narrative
nonfiction, cultural studies and prescriptive titles, including
cookbooks. She has a B.A. in American Studies and Creative Writing from
Stanford University and a J.D. from the University of Chicago Law
School.
Alexis Hurley started her career in 1998 and has
been at InkWell since its inception in 2004. Alexis works in the dual
capacity of Co-Director of Foreign Rights and agent of domestic works in
the areas of literary and commercial fiction, memoir, narrative
non-fiction and more. She is a native of the Berkshires and a graduate
of Dickinson College where she received her BA in English and Art
History and a minor in Italian.
Allison and Alexis will be co-teaching a Publishing Intensive Weekend Workshop at the Taos Summer Writers' Conference this year. It is a unique opportunity to find out all you've ever wanted to know about publishing. Learn more
