Vivre sans
contrainte et jouir
sans entrave.
Welcome to Artists and Artisans Inc., a full service literary
management company
representing writers of adult trade fiction and nonfiction.
After a brief stint at a renowned literary agency,
Adam Chromy went out on his own
to represent a novel written by a close friend. The gamble paid off and
the book was sold on a preemptive offer. Since that auspicious start in
2002, Adam's fresh, rule-breaking approach has led to dozens of book deals at major publishing houses; a national and New
York Times Bestseller; and a number of performance deals for his clients’
projects. And now acting as a manager/producer, he is attached as an
executive producer to a number of upcoming film and television properties
being adapted from clients' books.

"Two from A&A
At Artists and Artisans, Adam Chromy sold
North American rights to Donia Bijan's
memoir, Maman's Homesick Pie. Andra Miller
at Algonquin won the book about the chef's discovery of her
mother's pie recipes after her death, at auction. Bijan's
mother had fled Iran after being persecuted for running a
feminist-minded medical practice, and the pie recipes, all for
American standards, represented one of her significant
attempts at assimilation.
Jamie Brenner, also of A&A, struck her
first YA deal when she sold Wendy Delsol's
debut novel, Stork. Jennifer Yoon at
Candlewick bought world English rights to the book, which
follows an L.A. teen who moves to Minnesota, where she
discovers a mysterious cadre of women who can place souls on
Earth. Candlewick's slated the book for 2010."
