Center for the Literary Arts Speaker Series: Literary Agent Q&A

Join us for breakfast and a series of events with Anna Moschovakis and her agent Akin Akinwumi. Moschovakis will read from and discuss her own work, after which Akinwumi will speak about his work representing international literary voices in a commercial environment. Following Akinwumi's discussion, the two will respond to audience questions. All are welcome. 

Moschovakis is an award-winning poet, novelist, and translator, and one of the founding members of the acclaimed Ugly Duckling Presse. Her translation of David Diop’s At Night All Blood Is Black received the 2021 International Booker Prize. She has taught writing at Pratt, Bard, Columbia, and Naropa. 

Akinwumi is the founder of Willenfield Literary Agency, an international agency dedicated to representing writers working in contemporary literature. His main areas of specialization are literary fiction, literary nonfiction, general nonfiction, visual narrative, and poetry.
