Richard Curtis is a leading New York literary agent, publishing authority, e-book pioneer, and authors’ advocate. He was the first president of the Independent Literary Agents Association and subsequently president of the Association of Authors’ Representatives. Curtis’s fascination with emerging media and technology led to his founding one of the first commercial e-book publishers, seven years prior to the introduction of the Kindle and the advent of the E-Book Revolution. He is also author of dozens of works of fiction and nonfiction, the most recent of which is Digital Inc. (Rivertowns Books, 2026).
