InkWell was formed in the summer of 2004 through the merger of three agencies, Carlisle & Company, Arthur Pine Associates and Witherspoon Associates. In that short time, we have gained a considerable international reputation as a significant and innovative player in the industry.

In addition to its full-time agents and their assistants, the InkWell team includes a tireless foreign rights department, a dedicated marketing and publicity expert, an experienced film and television strategist, an in-house editor, and a meticulous contracts manager. We also join forces with leading literary agencies in every foreign market and we have a full-time agent based in Australia.

While we are proud to represent major literary prize winners as well as many of the world's bestselling and best-loved authors, we continue to be excited by and on the lookout for original ideas, riveting stories and great writing from new writers.
