Paige Wheeler

As the founder of Creative Media Agency, Inc., Paige Wheeler has artfully merged her creativity and business savvy to create an agency that is dedicated to maximizing author potential. With over twenty years of experience in the publishing industry, Paige is propelled by an entrepreneurial spirit, ignited by the thrill of discovery. Through all of her professional endeavors, Paige has ventured to support her clients and their unique voices in an unprecedented way. In 2006, Paige also became a founding partner of Folio Literary Management, LLC. Through CMA, she is now able to manage the intellectual property rights of authors by selling both domestic and foreign rights, and co-agenting film and audio rights.

Paige is looking to represent a broad range of projects. In particular, she has been reading upscale commercial fiction and nonfiction books that tell a unique story or ones in which the author has a huge platform. She seems to be especially drawn to a story if it has a high concept and a fresh, unique voice.

She is motivated by projects that are commercially viable and that she’s totally fallen for and can’t stop talking about. She needs to be a cheerleader for a project so her enthusiasm level must be very high. However, sometimes she loves books that aren’t commercially viable. That’s when she sadly has to turn away projects.

She likes books that are well organized, smartly constructed and have a brilliant and unique voice. It’s even better if she learns something fascinating along the way. Don’t just write a story, write it intelligently.
