Redefining the Beach Read

After seventeen years as an editor of both fiction and nonfiction for Warner Books/Grand Central Publishing, Caryn Karmatz Rudy moved over to the agenting side, joining DeFiore and Company in the fall of 2010. In her capacity first as an editor and now as a literary agent, Caryn knows how to recognize meaty fiction. And it was one of her Warner authors, Joshilyn Jackson (The Girl Who Stopped Swimming, Backseat Saints), who led her to her latest find, Shine, Shine, Shine by Lydia Netzer, published on July 17th by St. Martin's Press.
