Surprises Await Local Authors

CALLAHAN, FLORIDA - It all started one random Tuesday night in a sleepy little town in North Florida.  Nassau County, Florida, home of Amelia Island, White Oak Plantation and historic Fernandina Beach, is also home of M&N Enterprises, a literary agency.  While one would wonder why a literary agency would be a boasting point for a small town, M&N has more than a few feathers in their cap and enough to make New York and Los Angeles shake in their Jimmy Choo’s.  

With the release of the third Gabriel Whitewolf installment at theaters this holiday weekend, M&N has now successfully launched two lucrative movie ventures, based on novels that they have pitched for local writers in West Nassau County.  In addition to the Whitewolf trilogy, based on Robert Oxfurth’s highly popular series of the same name, M&N was also the literary agent behind Richard New’s “Dodge” novels, not to mention the movies, action figures, etc. 

Let’s go deeper, this local literary agency has launched New York Times best sellers, Connie Wiesendanger, Matt Yates, Connie Krug, Oliver Mabry, Thomas Eadie and James Burden.  Lisa Crosby’s wildly successful poetic Pre-K curriculum has become a fixture on every expectant parent’s registry, not to mention Cameron Smithgall and Kaitlyn Scheibe have cornered the market for adolescent fiction.

With all of these successes, one would think that the M&N office would be somewhere in Manhattan or Los Angeles, but the founders of M&N like to keep it simple.  It all started one random Tuesday night in a sleepy little town in North Florida, Callahan Florida, exactly.  At a little bakery, creative writers huddled around small tables, reading their works in progress, taking in the critiques and improving their craft.  It was here that it all began and it is here that aspiring writers come and hope for a touch of magic that can launch them in to the national spotlight.  And on occasion, some of those first members travel back to the bakery and participate in those critique sessions, giving those few lucky ones a glimpse in to new worlds.
