Lori Perkins

About the Agent

Lori Perkins is the founding agent at LPA, with over two decades of experience and more than 2000 titles sold. Her notable sales include seven books on the New York Times best-seller list, such as How to Make Love Like a Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale by Jenna Jameson, J.K. Rowling: The Wizard Behind Harry Potter by Marc Shapiro, and The Hunger Games Companion by Lois Gresh. Perkins is also the founder and publisher of Riverdale Avenue Books, an award-winning hybrid publisher. She currently splits her time between these two successful publishing ventures. As a result, she represents only a few select clients, but oversees all aspects of the agency. She is a published author of both fiction and nonfiction, and edited the first zombie romance anthology, Hungry for Your Love, as well as 50 Writers on 50 Shades of Grey. Perkins was an adjunct professor at NYU’s Center for Publishing for two decades and an online professor at Writer’s Digest University. In 2010, the New York Chapter of Romance Writers of America named her Literary Agent of the Year, and she received an Outstanding Achievement Award as an Author’s Representative from Romantic Times Magazine. She is a frequent speaker at writer’s conferences and conventions, covering genres from romance to kink, and attends approximately 13 conferences annually.
