Wilson Media was established in 2001 by Robert Wilson to represent writers and their written works to book publishers and other media, and to negotiate deals on their behalf. The agency represents authors whose collective works span a range of subjects and genres, including sports, history, biography, politics, current affairs, business, and popular culture.

For 2012, Wilson Media has expanded into young adult fiction. Elizabeth Barkley has joined the agency as an associate. A summa cum laude graduate of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, where she majored in English, Liz will handle YA and middle grade fiction exclusively for the agency.

Wilson Media clients include the dean of American sports writers, Roger Kahn; winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Sydney Schanberg; auto industry giant Richard E. Dauch; New York Times business editor Brent Bowers; Baseball Hall of Fame sports writer Bill Madden; award-winning investigative journalist Mary Beth Pfeiffer; and a number of clients from the world of sports, including Don Zimmer, Bud Harrelson, Ron Blomberg, Steve Blass, Joanne P. McCallie, and Bill Rodgers. For a complete list of clients represented by Wilson Media, see Clients.
