Hollywood Reporter: The Women of WMA Lit

Hollywood Reporter's Women in Entertainment Power 100 has a nice summary of the accomplishments of Jennifer Rudolph Walsh and Suzanne Gluck, co-heads of William Morris Agency's Literary Department. Quite impressive:

"Thus far in 2007, WMA lit has had 83 books and five No. 1 titles on the list, including Ann Brashares' latest book, "Forever in Blue: The Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood"; Jessica Seinfeld's "Deceptively Delicious"; Rachael Ray's "2, 4, 6, 8"; Ishmael Beah's "A Long Way Gone"; and Pattie Boyd's "Wonderful Tonight: George Harrison, Eric Clapton, and Me" (with Penny Junor). Between the two of them, Gluck and Walsh have had 52 titles on the NYT best-seller list this year. Walsh's include client Jenny McCarthy's "Louder Than Words: A Mother's Journey Into Healing Autism," Sara Shepard's hit series "Pretty Little Liars" and Fannie Flagg's "Can't Wait to Get to Heaven." She also signed Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, whose autobiography is set to publish in 2008. Gluck's best-selling clients include Judy Blume, Carl Bernstein and Giada De Laurentiis. She also works with Rachael Ray, John Berendt ("Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil"), and Stephen Dubner and Steven Levitt ("Freakonomics"). Michel, recently named head of the East Coast talent division, reps John Travolta, who had two films out in '07: Disney's hit "Wild Hogs" and New Line's "Hairspray," the latter also featuring Michel client Queen Latifah. Travolta next stars in Disney's "Old Dogs," Latifah in Overture's "Mad Money." Michel also reps Terrence Howard, who starred with Jodie Foster in Warner Bros.' "The Brave One" and will appear in the forthcoming "Iron Man" for Paramount. Stein, who put Whoopi Goldberg on "The View" this year, spearheaded the company's inaugural "Roll Up Your Sleeves Day" for volunteerism on Sept. 19."
