She took this first-time author expertly through an incredibly exciting auction process, landing me deals with major publishing houses. I will forever be indebted to Lucinda.”

“I couldn’t have made it without my agent, Lucinda Halpern, who managed to wrangle a hard-charging Marine twice her size and convince him that she knew best (she did). Or without Connor Eck, her right-hand man, who could delicately tell me when my writing was terrible without stoking my ire.”

“Lucinda is a true professional. She knows the in’s and out’s of the writing industry, and I’ve felt cared for in our collaboration. After working together to hone a proposal, she landed me a dream book deal with Penguin. Let her help you ‘get signed’ so you can share your ideas with the world.”

“I couldn’t be more grateful to the travelers who have joined along this road, starting with my agent, Lucinda Halpern. When the vision is young and fragile, when the time has been short to bring what’s only in your mind into the world beyond, it is rare that someone can understand what you see simply by seeing you.  That is what Lucinda did in 2020 with Black Girls Must Die Exhausted, and that is what she continues to do with each project that I excitedly share…Thank you also to the Lucinda Literary team who support me in so many ways.  You are all appreciated.”
—Jayne Allen, Black Girls Must Die Exhausted
