So, remember I said I had a super-secret project? This was it! =)
The press release is below. The website is a work-in-progress, and will continue to evolve. The new e-mail address is jenny@rappaportagency.com. The old e-mail still works, but will be discontinued at some point.
Lori Perkins and Jenny Rappaport would like to announce that they are amicably parting ways, and that Jenny will be leaving the L. Perkins Agency to start her own literary agency, The Rappaport Agency.
After a mutually successful two and a half year business relationship, Lori and Jenny have found that their agenting interests are taking them in different directions. The L. Perkins Agency will continue to focus on erotica and chick lit, horror and pop culture, while The Rappaport Agency will specialize in science fiction and fantasy, as well as YA, and romance.
Speculative fiction has always been Jenny’s passion, and she is pleased to be able to take her work with it to the next level.
Marsha Philitas has been promoted to senior literary agent at the L. Perkins Agency.

Thank you everyone! Just as a brief reminder, I'm leaving the hotel internet in about an hour, to go to my grandparents' condo, so internet access will be splotchy for the next week. But thank you, thank you, thank you. =)
Congrats on the new agency, new beginnings are always fun and daunting!
Check out my book, I didn't send an official query because I'm not sure it's up your alley.
