NEW CLIENT – Stephen Volk

Posted on Monday, February 9th, 2009

Zeno Agency is delighted to announced that we’ve signed up the Bafta award winning screenwriter Stephen Volk as a client, specifically representing him for books. All Steve’s other writing commitments (film, television and radio) will continue to be handled by Linda Seifert Management.

John Berlyne says ‘I met Steve at the World Fantasy Convention last year over in Calgary and we got to talking about his novel The Gospel According to Lazarus. When I read a sample it was clear to me it was something really very special indeed – an epic and powerful work, dark, brooding and exquisitely written. This is part Jacobean revenge tragedy,  part variation of the ‘Frankenstein‘ myth and part heretical alternative history – and it’s terrific! I’m absolutely thrilled to have Steve on board.‘
