Steinbeck Decision Reversed
I'm not sure how many of you have been following the Steinbeck publishing case, but the 2nd Circuit just overruled the lower court's ruling and found in favor of Penguin and the Estate of Steinbeck's third wife, Elaine. Here's the entire decision.
Jonathan Lyons is a literary agent at Curtis Brown, Ltd., where represents a select list of authors of biographies, history, science, pop culture, sports, general narrative non-fiction, mysteries, thrillers, science fiction and fantasy, and young adult fiction, in addition to serving as subagent in the United States for several agencies in the UK. Having previously run translation rights at McIntosh & Otis and Folio Literary Management, Jonathan currently oversees Curtis Brown’s translation rights department.
Jonathan is also a licensed publishing attorney with the boutique entertainment law firm Savur & Pellecchia, a member of The Authors Guild, and a member of the Contracts Committee of the Association of Authors’ Representatives, Inc.
