______________________________________________________________

Wilson Media was established in 2001 by Robert Wilson to represent authors and their written works to book publishers, film producers and other media. It assists authors in the creation and development of intellectual property, and secures and negotiates agreements on their behalf. The agency represents clients whose collective works span a wide range of subjects, including sports, politics, history, business, pop culture, memoir, narrative, and current affairs.

Clients include the dean of American sports writers, Roger Kahn; the Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, Sydney Schanberg; New York Times business editor Brent Bowers; the national baseball columnist for the New York Daily News, Bill Madden; Bread Loaf prize winner Kim Dana Kupperman; MSNBC.com careers columnist Eve Tahmincioglu; and a number of clients whose celebrity was established on the baseball diamond, including Bud Harrelson, Don Zimmer, Tim McCarver, Ron Blomberg, and the late Bobby Murcer. For a list of authors represented by Wilson Media, see Clients.

Congratulations to Bill Madden and Sydney Schanberg. In July, Bill was inducted into the writer's wing of the National Baseball Hall of Fame. His latest book, Steinbrenner, spent 11 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. Syd, whose war reporting for the New York Times became the basis for the film The Killing Fields, is the latest winner of the Society of Professional Journalism Fellow award. His book, Beyond the Killing Fields, published earlier this year by Potomac Books, is a collection of his best pieces on the topic of war.
