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.

Adler, the former drummer for Guns N' Roses who has made headlines more recently for his often jarringly unsuccessful attempts to fight his longtime heroin habit on the VH-1 reality show Celebrity Rehab, has signed to write My Appetite for Destruction for Mauro DiPreta. DiPreta acquired world rights to that title along with Sweet Child of Mine, which will be written by Deanna Adler. The books are slated to drop at the same time, in 2010, and will be coauthored by Lawrence J. Spagnola.
