Mark Malatesta is Founder and CEO of Literary Agent Undercover™ the only company in the world focused (exclusively) on helping writers get top literary agents, so they can also get top publishers and major book deals... and make a living writing books.  
Mark is a former literary agent and AAR member  (the Owner of "New Brand Agency  Group") who's helped both fiction and  nonfiction writers launch their  publishing careers like thriller writer  Jim Brown (24/7, Random House), award-winning young adult author Carol  Plum-Ucci (The Body of Christopher Creed, Harcourt), nonfiction  self-help author Aggie Jordan (The Marriage Plan, Doubleday-Broadway),  and best-selling gift book author Harry Harrison (Father to Daughter,  Workman), and many more... resulting  in millions of books sold, as well as works being picked up for  TV, stage, and feature film (with companies like Paramount Pictures and  DreamWorks). Mark's  authors have gotten 6-figure advances, been on the  NY Times bestseller  list, been licensed in more than 30 countries, and  won countless  national and international awards and honors.
Mark also spent several years as Marketing & Licensing Manager of Blue Mountain Arts (the book and gift publisher that invented e-greetings, then sold their  e-card division for close to $1 billion  at the height of the dot com  bubble). Mark negotiated distribution and  licensing deals with top  buyers around the world at events like Book  Expo America (BEA), the  London Book Fair, and the Frankfurt Book Fair.  He also helped scout new  talent and develop new products.
A writer at heart (the reason he got into publishing in the first  place), Mark understands writers. And he 
loves sharing his  "insider knowledge" in a way that helps them position themselves (and  their work) in the best way possible.  In other words, do everything  they can to give their work bestseller  or high commercial potential.  Mark has been invited to write feature  articles for publications like 
The Guide to Literary Agents, a column for 
WritersDigest.com,  and he's 
delivered keynote addresses and seminars at some of the most  prominent writers' conferences in the United States and abroad. Learn more at at

*A Note From Rebekah:    In the spirit of The Season Of Giving - I have decided to create a     special series of messages JUST FOR YOU consisting purely of GIFTS that  I    know you will enjoy.  I have asked some of my most-respected    colleagues  to GIVE you their very best stuff. Stuff that anywhere else    you might  pay hundreds or thousands of dollars to enjoy, that YOU are    going to be  receiving "on the house". I am calling it "12 Days Of    Gifts".
Over  the next 12 days you will get at least one fabulous gift from me    each day.  All you have to do is open - and enjoy. It will be  like    getting to open a different package every morning!  Each gift is     guaranteed to contain tremendous value, so I hope you will take     advantage of each and every one. And at the end I'll give you an     exclusive sneak peek at all the great things we're launching for you on     January 1, 2012 - TWO WEEKS before anyone else gets to see them! ENJOY - and Merry Christmas! www.ConnectWithRebekah.com
