Moby-Dick or, The Whale

Wales Literary Agency represents writers of quality fiction and nonfiction.
Wales Literary Agency is part of a thriving West Coast literary community which has grown up in the last couple of decades as the Internet has collapsed some of the great distances between New York publishing and the rest of the nation.
Agency clients are from all over the United States and overseas, with a core group currently living “west of the Hudson River.”
